Am I A Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental plants are highly versatile. The procedure is used for virtually anyone that has lost a tooth. While they may be suitable for replacing missing teeth, they are not the right option for every patient. The procedure may relate to bone health if you’re not a candidate for dental implants. For example, if you have experienced loss of bone volume due to a condition or long-term absence of a tooth, there may not be enough bone in your jaw to support the implant fixture. Your periodontist may recommend bone grafts to restore the bone, but it may not work for everyone.
What is the Success Rate of Dental Implants?
The success rate of implant surgery depends greatly on your personal health habits. If you have good oral hygiene [2] and good overall health, your success rate will be between 95-98.5%.
