Can anyone get dental implants?

Not everyone is automatically eligible for dental implants. The suitability of dental implants depends on various factors, including:

Overall health – certain medical conditions or medications may affect your eligibility.

Bone density – sufficient jawbone density is necessary to support the implant.

Gum health – healthy gums are crucial for the long-term success of dental implants.

Lifestyle habits – smoking and heavy alcohol consumption can negatively impact the healing process and the success of the implants.

Why should you consider getting dental implants?

Preserving Bone Health: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can begin to deteriorate over time. Dental Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss, maintaining your facial structure.

Convenience: You won`t need to remove and clean dental implants as you would with dentures. They become a permanent part of your oral hygiene routine.

Improved Functionality: Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, enabling you to eat and speak comfortably. There’s no need to worry about slippage or discomfort.

A natural Appearance: Dental implants are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, restoring your smile to its original beauty.

Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution for those with missing teeth. The decision to get implants should be based on your specific needs, health considerations and budget.
