CAN I GET DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants are suitable for almost anyone who lost one or more teeth and would like to restore their appearance and dental health. However, it is important that the patient bone tissue is fully developed; they are not typically used as a treatment for people under18 years of age.

To be considered for implants, your mouth must be in a healthy condition, with no untreated tooth decay or active periodontal (gum) disease. Implants are not to be fitted in the presence of active periodontitis, there is adanger that an infection will develop around the implant which will lead to its failure and loss.

Your dentist will need to be sure that your oral hygiene is appropriate before treatment is offered, because the long-term success of implants depends on good dental hygiene. After treatment is completed, you should be willing to attend regular follow-up appointments with your dentist so that he or she can assess the implants and take steps to prevent any complications at an early stage.

If you meet all the criteria for implants above, your Dr. Robison will be happy to discuss the various treatment options that are available, which depends on many factors, such as your general health, the number and position of missing teeth, and the quantity and quality of your bone tissue.

Dr Robison will determine if you are a good candidate for a dental implant during your evaluation.
