Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Are you missing one or more of your teeth? If so, this can cause quite a few problems including issues with the function of your mouth and your ability to chew, not to mention the aesthetic issues. You might want to consider restorative dentistry options that can help you with this problem, such as dental implants. The implants of today are a great option for many, but you will want to make sure you are a candidate for dental implants by speaking with one of our Turlock dentists.

Some Are Not Good Candidates for Dental Implants

While these can be a great option for many, not all patients will be able to get dental implants. Those who do not have healthy teeth and gums overall should not undergo the procedure. In addition, you need to have good bone density in the jaw so you can support the implant. Those who suffer from autoimmune disorders or from uncontrolled diabetes will also be poor candidates for dental implants. This is because it will be more difficult for you to heal.

People who are smokers are poor candidates, as well. You would need to stop smoking for the duration of the procedure and the healing process. Overall, this could take up to 12 months for some patients. Dentists will also want to make sure that you are fully committed to good oral hygiene during the process and after.

However, the rate of success for this type of restorative dentistry is quite high. This means if you are a candidate for dental implants, it could be the best choice for you. Naturally, you will want to learn more about the process and procedure by speaking with a dental implants specialist.
