Determining Your Implant Candidacy
Gum Health
Dental implants require a healthy oral environment to ensure long-term success. If infection is present, this can damage both your gum tissue and bone. If you have severe gum disease or infection, this needs to be treated first, followed by a few months to allow the area to properly heal.
Bone Volume
After a tooth is lost or extracted, the jawbone underlying the missing tooth begins to atrophy and can be reabsorbed. Adequate bone is essential for successful placement of dental implants. Bone graft procedures to remedy this issue typically involve grafting bone or bone-like materials to your jaw. We perform sinus lift, ridge-augmentation, and nerve-repositioning to help you become a suitable candidate for dental implants. We also offer state-of-the-art tissue repair treatments that enhance the healing process.
Systemic Conditions
A few medical conditions including uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and osteoporosis can make implant treatment more challenging due to delayed healing. Systemic disease also increases the risk of postsurgical infection. If you have any of these conditions, we’ll adjust your treatment plan accordingly to improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Trauma
Oral surgeons are experts in the oral and maxillofacial bone structure and as such, have vast expertise treating dental and facial injuries. Trauma to this area can inflict serious damage beyond tooth loss that requires proper assessment and treatment. For example, the sinuses and mandibular joint may be damaged and compromised. We repair the damage caused by trauma, then after proper healing, place dental implants to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Physical Health
If you smoke, consider quitting before dental implant surgery and practice good daily oral hygiene habits. The nicotine in tobacco damages your gums, slows the healing process, and can prevent implants from fusing with your jawbone. Clinical trials have shown that smokers are at a higher risk of osseointegration (fusion) failure than nonsmokers. With proper maintenance, dental implants have the potential to improve your long-term oral and physical health.
