Dental Implant Eligibility

Wondering if You're Eligible For Dental Implants, All-on-4 Dental Implants or Snap-on Dentures?

Dental Implants at Lifetime Dental

Are you considering dental implants to restore your smile? Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth, but not everyone is an ideal candidate. Understanding your eligibility for dental implants is the first step towards achieving a functional and healthy smile.

Factors To Consider

Bone Density

To support dental implants, you need certain amount of healthy bone in your jaw. If you lack the required bone density, bone grafting may be recommended to prepare the site for implant placement.

Oral Health

Your gums and current teeth should be healthy and in good condition. Existing oral health issues, such as gum disease or cavities, must be addressed before receiving an implant.

Health and Lifestyle

Your overall health and lifestyle habits serve as important factors when considering dental implants. Chronic illnesses or conditions may affect your eligibility, so it's important to discuss your medical history with your dentist.

Commitment

Dental implants replace missing teeth, but should be treated as natural teeth. Dental implants require proper care and maintenance, including regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene.

Age Considerations

There is no upper age limit for dental implants. It's more about overall health and suitability. Young adults may need to wait until their jawbone growth is complete before considering implants.
