Everyone loves losing teeth as a child because it means a special visit from the Tooth Fairy but it isn’t nearly as exciting as an adult! Missing teeth can cause you to be self conscious or embarrassed about your smile. It can also lead to more serious oral health problems. Biting, chewing and bone health can all be affected if you don’t deal with your missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is a simple solution with long term benefits.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you’re considering getting dental implants to replace your missing teeth, there are a few things to consider first. Although most people qualify for the procedure, you should meet the following criteria before you are deemed eligible to receive dental implants:
-
Have healthy teeth and gums
-
Have no signs of cavities or periodontal disease
-
Tell your dentist if you have chronic health conditions or are on medication
