What Makes a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
When it comes to ensuring the success of dental implants, dentists consider all aspects, including the patient’s suitability and readiness for the procedure. The best candidates for dental implants are:
- People with good oral health. Patients must have healthy gums with no signs of gum disease.
- People who are committed to oral hygiene. Maintenance of the implant requires flossing and brushing regularly, as well as regular visits to the dentists for check-up and cleaning.
- People who have enough bone to support the implant. Since implants are embedded in bone, it’s important to have sufficient bone to avoid implant failure.
