Who Can Get Dental Implants?

If you have lost one or more teeth or are currently wearing uncomfortable dentures, dental implants may be the perfect solution for you.

In general, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction can be considered for a dental implant. However, there are a few key requirements:

1. Sufficient Bone Density

The implant needs a solid foundation of bone to anchor itself. If you have lost bone due to long-term tooth loss or gum disease, you may need a Bone Graft before the implant can be placed.

2. Healthy Gums

Patients must have healthy gums free of periodontal disease. Gum infection can cause the implant to fail, so we will treat any gum issues before surgery.

3. Overall Health

Uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can slow down healing. During your consultation, Dr. Sivanesan will review your medical history to ensure surgery is safe for you.

Are You Tired of Dentures?

Dental Implants are perfect for patients who have had to endure the loose, unstable, and uncomfortable nature of dentures. Permanently inserted into the jawbone, they offer exceptional strength and stability.
