Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants have become a groundbreaking solution for those looking to enhance their smiles and improve oral function. This procedure is primarily designed for adults who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, periodontal disease, or injury. Though dental implants provide support for new teeth, patients with insufficient bone density may not be able to support the implant. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, or heart disease may require additional evaluations to ensure the treatment's safety and effectiveness. Additionally, non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking tend to have better outcomes, as smoking can hinder the healing process.

Dental implants can also be a viable option for individuals with weakened jawbones. Those with compromised jawbones due to injury or atrophy may benefit from procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts, which can strengthen the remaining structures to support the implants. In other cases, these patients might be suitable candidates for Zygomatic Dental Implants, which we specialize in providing. Even those who have been deemed ineligible for implants by other clinics can often receive treatment from our reconstruction and implant specialists.

Before proceeding with dental implant treatment, a consultation with our specialty team is essential. During this consultation, our staff will conduct a comprehensive clinical examination to assess the condition of your teeth, gums, jawbone, and bite. The team will then help you decide which treatment option is right for your situation.

During your initial consultation, our team of specialists will assess your overall health and take the time to get to know you personally to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. We aim to understand your needs and goals to see how we can help you achieve them. This approach allows us to personalize your treatment plan and achieve the best possible outcome in your situation.

As part of your consultation, we will perform a 3D CT scan to gain a detailed knowledge of your unique oral structures. Based on this assessment, we will present you with several treatment plan options, depending on the complexity of your situation. Additionally, we will provide an estimate of the cost and timeline for each option. There will be no pressure to make a decision as our goal is to assist you in making the best choice for your needs.
