Do I Qualify for Dental Implants?

When considering options for replacing missing or compromised teeth, dental implants consistently stand out as the preferred choice. At Revive Denture & Implant Studio, we specialize in dental implants to help restore your smile and improve your oral health. One of the many advantages of dental implants is that most people qualify for them, which is excellent for individuals wanting to transform their smile! Although most people qualify for dental implants, a common question often revolves around the qualifications of an ideal candidate for dental implants.

Candidates for dental implants can include those maintaining good oral and overall health to optimize outcomes. Age is not a limiting factor; even older adults with systemic health issues and extended healing periods can benefit from dental implants. Even individuals who smoke or have active periodontal disease can still qualify.

Determining Candidacy

Typically, most patients are eligible for dental implants. We aim to identify those in good oral and physical health for optimal outcomes. While age or systemic health challenges aren’t deterring factors, we prioritize patients who maintain overall well-being, recognizing that good physical health contributes to the success of dental implant procedures.

Although most qualify for dental implants, multiple factors can affect candidacy. Patients need healthy gums, sufficient bone structure to support the implant and good oral hygiene tendencies. To see if you qualify for dental implants, we will schedule a consultation to evaluate your health and ensure dental implants are right for you. We work one-on-one with you to create an individualized treatment plan that best suits you and your needs.

1

Gum Health

For dental implants to have a stable foundation, healthy gums are essential. Healthy gums provide the necessary support and barrier against bacterial infections and provide a stable foundation to hold the implants. Healthy gums can also help make the healing process faster, ensuring the implant integrates seamlessly with your jawbone.

2

Bone Volume

To ensure dental implants are secure and stable, you must have a certain amount of bone density in the jawbone. Candidates with bone loss may require bone grafting procedures to augment bone density, which can help restore jawbone density for implants. If your bone volume is insufficient, you may only qualify for dental implants after extensive bone grafting.

3

Systemic Conditions

Many different systemic conditions can affect eligibility for dental implants. For instance, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases can affect whether you’re a good candidate. These conditions can complicate or contradict implant surgery, resulting in complicated outcomes.

4

Physical Health

Those in good physical health are more likely to be eligible for implants than those in poor health. Those with chronic illnesses or health conditions like diabetes are at a much higher risk of health complications that can hinder the healing process. It is also important to note that those who smoke have a higher risk of implant failure.
