Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are one of the best options for replacing missing teeth. They’re safe, long-lasting, and feel just like natural teeth. However, not every patient is an ideal candidate for this treatment.

At Dental Artistry, we’ll explain what it takes to be a good candidate for dental implants and how to know if this is the right option for you.

🦷 What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium screws placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. A crown, bridge, or denture is then placed on top to restore both function and aesthetics.

✅ What Makes a Good Candidate?

1. Good general health
   The patient should be medically stable. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease may require extra care.

2. Healthy gums
   Healthy, infection-free gums are essential for implant success.

3. Sufficient bone
   There must be enough quality bone to support the implant. If bone is lacking, a graft may be necessary.

4. Non-smoker or willing to quit
   Smoking can affect healing and increase the risk of implant failure.

5. Commitment to oral hygiene and regular checkups
   Proper aftercare and routine dental visits are essential for long-term implant success.

❓What If You Don’t Meet All the Criteria?

Don’t worry. In many cases, with prior treatments like bone grafting, deep cleanings, or lifestyle changes, we can help you become a candidate for implants.
