Waking up daily with the confidence to smile, speak, and eat without hesitation is within reach. As a candidate for individual dental implants, you're not just choosing a solution for missing teeth; you’re investing in a future where you can reclaim the joy of a full, natural smile.
The journey to restoring your confidence and comfort starts now, bringing you closer to a life where your smile truly reflects who you are. So, who’s a candidate for individual dental implants?
Am I a Candidate?
A dental implant is a popular tooth replacement option that uses a titanium post to mimic the tooth’s root. Then, a dental crown is added to the implant, restoring your smile’s beauty and function.
To be considered a good candidate for dental implants, we consider the following factors:
- Bone density — You need adequate jawbone density to secure the dental implant.
- Gum health — To ensure a successful procedure, you should be free from periodontal disease.
- Overall oral health — You shouldn’t have tooth decay or other dental issues hindering your implant treatment.
Potential Alternatives to Dental Implants
Fortunately, there are alternatives to dental implants, so if your budget or oral health won’t allow for the implant procedure, here are some other options:
- A dental bridge — We can place a dental crown on each side of your missing tooth and attach a prosthetic tooth to bridge the gap in your smile.
- A partial denture — We can create a removable denture to replace your missing tooth.
