Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Hi, Dr Jimmy here from Melton Dental House.
Do you have missing teeth? Or someone you know is missing their teeth, and now you’re wondering if dental implants are the right solution. Well, let’s chat about it!
Okay, so, the first thing you need to know is your jawbone health is really important. A strong jawbone supports the implant, and if there’s not enough bone there, we might need to look at options like bone grafting before moving forward.
And then, we need to make sure your mouth is in good shape. That means checking for any untreated issues like gum disease or decay. We want everything to be healthy before we place an implant.
Now, your overall health also plays a big part. Conditions like diabetes, heart issues, or smoking can affect how well the implant heals and its long-term success. For example, well-controlled diabetes is usually fine, but if it’s not well-managed, it could actually delay the healing process.
Lastly, your lifestyle matters too. Smokers might face some extra challenges, but that doesn’t mean implants are off the table. It just means we need to be extra careful.
So, if you’re thinking about dental implants to replace missing teeth and want to know if you’re a good fit, just send us a DM or call us on 1800GENTLE to book a complimentary consultation. We’ve got flexible payment plans available, and we’re always here to help!
