Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
December 28, 2015
If you have been looking for a permanent solution to help get your smile back (and maybe even help you look a few years younger), dental implants might be just what you need. Whether you are missing one tooth or many, you may be able to benefit from the aesthetic and functional enhancement that dental implants provide. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure is to schedule an appointment with an experienced periodontist in Gainesville, VA, like Dr. Jean-Claude Kharmouche or Dr. Justin Hardison.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Dental implants are a great option for most people. They provide long-lasting results that are easy to maintain. The procedure requires the doctor to surgically implant titanium posts into the jawbone that act as anchors for the replacement teeth. Dental implant patients should be in good overall health (no chronic diseases, no heavy smoking), and have a full understanding of the surgery. While each individual patient will have special needs for their particular teeth and situation, most people find that dental implants are the best solution to missing teeth. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure:
- Do you want an increase in self-confidence?
- Do you want a healthy, straight smile?
- Do you want to eat any food you prefer without fear of loose dentures?
- Do you want a permanent solution to missing teeth?
- Are you in good overall health?
- Are you comfortable with surgical procedures?
