Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

A good candidate for dental implants should have the following:

Healthy gums
Enough bone to anchor the implants in the jaw. Patients who have bone loss can still get implants. First, the bone must be rebuilt, using bone grafting and ridge augmentation procedures.
A commitment to your overall dental and medical health – daily brushing and flossing are essential. Regular follow-up appointments are also important.

Do you have one or more missing teeth?

Do you have a bridge that needs to be replaced?

Do your dentures affect your quality of life by slipping, clicking or keeping you from eating what you want?

Do you have bite problems or pain because of a missing tooth?

Do you want a treatment option for missing teeth that provides a more permanent, long-term solution?

If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, dental implants might be an option for you.
