Are Dental Implants Right For You?

Are you ready to find out what dental implants can do for your incomplete smile?

Tooth loss may happen to you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Today, advanced technology and revolutionary dental procedures make it possible for our Edison, NJ, dentists to provide dental implants, which are truly the next best thing to a real tooth. This artificial tooth root is placed into the jawbone where it supports a beautiful restoration that looks just like the rest of your teeth. 

Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants

When you come into our Edison, NJ, practice for a consultation, there are many factors that our dental team will need to take into consideration to determine whether or not dental implants are the best tooth replacement for you. Some of these factors include:

Your Overall Health

Since implants require surgery, we will need to make sure that your health is in tip-top shape. This means going through your medical history, finding out what medications you are taking and whether or not you are living with any chronic illnesses. In some cases, you may require a medical release from your doctor to ensure that you are healthy enough to undergo implant surgery.

Your Jawbone Density

The dental team will also take X-rays to make sure your jawbone is strong enough to support dental implants. After all, bone loss occurs after losing a tooth, and if the jawbone loses enough density it may not be able to fully support this artificial tooth. Bone grafting can be performed beforehand to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone if you do decide you want to get implants.

Your Oral Health

We will also need to evaluate your oral health, as well as your general health to make sure that you aren’t dealing with gum disease or active decay that requires our immediate attention. After all, untreated gum disease can increase your risk for a bone infection, which can cause an implant to fail. This is why it’s important that your smile is in the best of health before getting a dental implant.

Your Lifestyle and Habits

Smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and pregnancy are also factors that we will need to take into account. The good news is that you can quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption in order to improve your chances of getting implants. Women who are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant should wait until after childbirth to consider implants.
