If you have lost one or more teeth and your bone tissue is fully developed, you may be a candidate for titanium implants.
You will also need to:
Have a healthy mouth that is free of gum disease and tooth decay.
Placing an implant in a mouth that has an infection puts the implant area at a greater risk of developing an infection
Practice exemplary dental hygiene
Successful dental implants require stringent plaque control so your dentist will need to ensure that your standard of dental care is very high.
Have sufficient bone for the implant
If a long period of time has passed since you lost your tooth, you may have suffered some bone loss. In the event that you do not have enough jaw bone to support the titanium implant, your dentist may perform a bone graft.
Be free of chronic conditions
Dental implants are not recommended for people with chronic conditions or conditions that affect your body’s ability to heal itself.
Be a non-smoker
A non-smoker has a greater chance of a successful surgery because your body can heal itself more effectively than if you smoke.
