Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Drs. Nicolas & Asp16 Aug 2024

Dental implants are a popular and effective option for replacing missing teeth. They offer a natural-looking and long-lasting solution that can significantly improve your oral health and quality of life. But are dental implants right for you? Let's explore the factors that determine a patient’s eligibility for this procedure.

Understanding Dental Implants

A dental implant is a small, screw-like post made of titanium that is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the jawbone fuses with the implant, creating a strong foundation for an artificial tooth (crown) or a bridge. Implants can replace single, multiple, or a complete arch of teeth.

Factors Determining Your Eligibility for Dental Implants

Jawbone Health: Sufficient bone density is crucial for successful implant placement and long-term stability. We will assess your jawbone health using a 3D CBCT scan. Our oral surgeons and implantologists are highly trained in bone graft solutions for patients who may require additional bone volume to support implants. This advanced technique ensures that even those with bone loss can benefit from the advantages of dental implants.
Overall Health: In most cases, individuals who are healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery are also suitable candidates for dental implants. Heavy smokers, patients with chronic conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease, and those who have undergone head and neck radiation therapy may require additional evaluation to determine their candidacy.
Gum Health: Healthy gums are essential for the success of dental implants. Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a serious condition that can damage the gums and the underlying bone. If left untreated, periodontitis can compromise the stability of dental implants. Before implant placement, any existing gum disease must be treated and brought under control to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.
Age: While age is not a significant barrier to dental implant placement, it's generally recommended that jawbone development be complete before undergoing the procedure. Implant tooth replacement in children is typically deferred until jaw growth is complete, usually between the ages of 18 to 21.

Dental implants are an investment in your oral health and overall well-being. The best way to determine if you're a candidate for dental implants is to schedule a consultation with a qualified oral surgeon.
