Should I get dental implants?

 

 

 

 

 

 Available Jawbone Space:

 

Regardless if you are getting implants

in the upper or lower jaw,

there are vital structures that must be

protected such as the maxillary sinus in

the upper jaw and the inferior alveolar

nerve in the lower jaw.

This is why there has to be sufficient bone

height to place the implant.

This is why it is critical to have your implants

placed by an experienced dentist.

 

 

 

Smoking :

 

If you are a smoker, you might want to

consider quitting for a while.

Smoking adversely affects the healing

process of the bone and tissue.

Please discuss this with your dentist

if you plan to get dental implants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Location :

 

Not all locations in the jawbone are suitable

for implants. There could be irregularities

of the bone and other structures keeping

your from being a good candidate. Also,

different locations have different success rates.

This is another critical factor that requires

the expertise of an experienced dentist.

 

 

 

Health of your gums and bone :

 

Gingivitis and periodontitis are important

considerations for dental implants.

Gingivitis is when dental hygiene must be

improved because gums appear red,

swollen and bleed easily.

Periodontitis is when the bone is affected

as well and there is some level of bone loss.

These conditions could compromise

the success of the treatment.
