Who Can Get a Dental Implant?
Numerous factors determine your eligibility for a single-tooth dental implant.
Here are some things you need to qualify:
- Healthy teeth and gums: You should be free from cavities and gum disease.
- Good oral hygiene: You should be committed to brushing and flossing each day.
- Sufficient bone density: You need adequate jawbone to secure the implant.
- Adequate overall health: You need to be healthy to decrease the chance of implant failure.
- A certain age: Your jaw must be fully developed before implant placement.
- No tobacco use: You shouldn’t smoke or use smokeless tobacco, as either could contribute to implant failure.
