Can Anyone Get Dental Implants?
In most cases, anyone fit enough to go through a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a dental implant. You must possess healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant. You must also be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Chronic smokers, people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders like diabetes [4] or heart disease [5] or patients who have had radiation therapy [6] to the head/neck area need to be observed on an individual basis. If you are considering implants, talk to your dentist to see if they are right for you.
