Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Any patient that has lost their teeth due to trauma, dental decay, or periodontal disease are considered to be ideal candidates for dental implants. However, it is crucial for those patients to be in good health since some systemic diseases can affect the prognosis of the dental implant process.
Generally speaking, patients with uncontrolled diabetes, active cancer, those who use tobacco extensively, patients with periodontal disease, including patients who abuse alcohol may find that the dental implant healing process may develop complications. It is essential to notify your dental provider about your medical history, any medications taken, and status of your current health condition.
