5 Things That Make You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants
Dental implants are quickly becoming one of the most popular options for replacing missing teeth. In order to be considered for dental implants, you need to meet several criteria. The team at Simply Wellness Dental in Vancouver, BC, works with each patient to find long-term solutions for all their dental needs. If you think dental implants may be able to help you get your dental health back on track, visit us for a consultation and thorough exam.
1. Healthy bone tissue – One of the first requirements for having dental implants is healthy bone tissue. A weak jawbone will not support the post of an implant. In order for dental implants to be an option, you must have healthy bone tissue without any risk of osteoporosis or other types of degenerative bone disease. The stronger your bones are, the faster they will heal after the implant posts have been put in place.
2. Looking for a permanent solution – Dental implants are considered to be a permanent solution for tooth loss. If you want to avoid the hassle of traditional dentures or partials, dental implants may be the last appliance you will ever need. Once in place, they will last for many years without any additional maintenance or support. There may be instances when the crowns need repair, but the metal posts will stand alone, possibly for the rest of your life.
3. Good oral health – Good oral health is important in order to maintain dental implants. Any sign of gum disease could compromise the integrity of the dental implants. Visiting your dentist at least twice a year will ensure that your gums and other soft tissues are in good condition. Healthy soft tissues will heal quickly and are more resistant to infection. Once your dental implants are in place, your dentist will closely monitor how they heal and take care of any issues that may arise.
4. Good physical health – In order to be a good candidate for dental implants, you must be in excellent physical condition. Good health begins in the mouth. Many infections that begin in the mouth end up affecting other vital organs in the body. When dental implants are in place and the healing process is complete, the mouth functions more efficiently. You are able to chew your food more efficiently and reduce stress on your digestive system.
5. Ready for a beautiful smile – Dental implants can complete your smile. Whether you have one or two missing teeth or are putting full denture plates on strategically placed posts, dental implants provide the foundation for good dental health and a bright, beautiful smile. Your new smile will last for several years and give you the self-confidence you need to live life to the fullest.
Dental implants can solve many of the problems you have with your teeth and mouth.
