Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically implanted into the jaw to restore a person's ability to chew and improve their appearance. They provide support for artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Most people are suitable for dental implants. However,
the chances of your body rejecting the implant are increased in some cases. For
example, for a medically compromised patient such as one with diabetes that
isn't under control, smoking, etc., this could decrease the success ratio.
Implants are contraindicated or risky in few patients:
Apart from teenagers or very young adults who can expect further jawbone growth, there are other reasons that dental implants may not be suited to you. There are some medical conditions that may not completely rule you out but are a cause for further discussion.
These include:
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Alcoholism
- Severe gingivitis
- Cancer
- Suppressed immunity
- Osteonecrosis of the jaw
What Makes a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
When it comes to ensuring the success of dental implants,
dentists consider all aspects, including the patient’s suitability and
readiness for the procedure. The best candidates for dental implants are:
- People with good oral health. Patients must have healthy gums with no signs of gum disease.
- People who are committed to oral hygiene. Maintenance of the implant requires flossing and brushing regularly, as well as regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and cleaning.
- People who have enough bone to support the implant. Since implants are embedded in bone, it’s important to have sufficient bone to avoid implant failure.
