Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth. Many patients opt for dental implants over bridges and dentures because they act and feel more like natural teeth. If you have one or more missing teeth, implants will provide you with the most effective, long lasting solution.
Unfortunately, not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. The best way to find out if dental implants are right for you is to speak with Dr. Frye in person.
Following are some of the criteria that will help determine if you are a candidate for dental implants:
- You have one or more missing teeth
- Your gums are healthy
- Your bone is sufficiently dense and can support implants
- You regularly practice good hygiene habits
- You do not have any underlying medical conditions that would interfere with the healing process
- You do not smoke, or you are committed to quitting
- You are willing to commit the extensive time necessary to complete the dental implant process
