What Are Dental Implants?
Artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed in the jawbone are considered dental implants. The bone surrounding the implants will grow, securing the implant in place over the course of a few months. The gap is then filled by the replacement tooth being attached with a metal connector to the implant.
Who Is A Candidate For Dental Implants?
In most cases, anyone who has undergone oral surgery or simple extractions can be a great candidate for dental implants.
When being considered for dental implants, there are many different factors that play a role in the decision of who is a great candidate for dental implants. One must undergo a full oral health screening so insure you are the best candidate.
Determining if you have enough healthy jawbone is the first step in making sure you are a great candidate. Too soft or too thin jawbone may result in you having to have a bone graft or other major procedure before the process of dental implants begin.
Healthy gums are a must, meaning free from periodontal diseases. Good oral health and health in general plays a role in determining if you are a candidate for dental implants.
