Am I a Good Candidate for a Dental Implant?
To determine whether a dental implant is suitable for you, we begin with a detailed evaluation of your jawbone and oral health. Using a 3D Cone Beam CT scan, we assess the bone type, quantity, and quality to ensure safe implant placement and long-term success.
In addition, we consider important factors such as:
-
Your overall health
-
The condition of your gums
-
The health of surrounding and opposing teeth
Our on-site imaging technology allows for accurate planning and supports a more predictable outcome.
What Affects Dental Implant Success?
According to current research, dental implants have a success rate of over 90% after 20 years. However, certain health and lifestyle factors can increase the risk of early implant failure. These include:
-
Smoking
-
Poor oral hygiene
-
Diabetes
-
Osteoporosis
Supporting Long-Term Results
With regular dental check-ups, good home care, and open communication with your dental team, you can significantly improve your chances of long-term success with dental implants.
