Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. The main requirements are:
- Adequate bone density (or willingness to have bone grafting)
- Healthy gums free of periodontal disease
- Overall good health
- Non-smoker or willing to quit
- Commitment to oral hygiene
Conditions that may require additional evaluation: - Uncontrolled diabetes - Radiation therapy to the head/neck - Heavy smoking - Certain medications affecting bone
Even if you've been told you don't have enough bone, modern techniques like bone grafting and sinus lifts can often make implants possible. At your consultation, we use 3D CT imaging to evaluate your bone and create a personalized treatment plan.
