Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Are you ready to discover if these tooth restorations are right for you?

Tooth loss may seem like a terrible situation but it doesn’t have to be a bad word. After all, dental technology now makes it easier than dental implantsever to get back your smile without other people even knowing that you have a restoration. If you’ve been weighing your treatment options then you may want to talk to your Naperville, IL dentist Dr. Pirooz Zomorrodi about whether dental implants are appropriate.

Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you determine whether getting dental implants in Naperville is a good option for you:

Are you in good health?

This means that both your oral and general health are superb. Your smile should be free of cavities, infection or gum disease. Your jawbone should also be strong and healthy enough to support a dental implant. Those with a deteriorating jawbone may need bone-grafting surgery prior to getting implants.

Your general health should also be in tip-top shape. It’s best if you aren’t dealing with chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease, but if you are we will want to make sure that these conditions are being properly managed prior to getting dental implants.

Are you an adult?

Children and teen mouths are still developing and until they have fully grown dental implants are not the right option. Once the jawbone has fully developed then a patient can choose to get dental implants. Why? Because implants are placed directly into the jawbone where they fuse with the implant. This could stunt the full development of a still growing jawbone.

Are you a non-smoker?

Not only is smoking a terrible habit for your smile but it can also cause a host of issues for someone looking to get a dental implant. First and foremost, smoking affects blood flow through the body, which impedes healing. Smokers are more likely to experience implant failure than non-smokers. If you want dental implants then it might be time to ditch the habit.

Do you have a strong immune system?

Those with compromised immune systems and those currently undergoing aggressive treatments like radiation therapy or chemotherapy will want to wait until their treatment is over before considering dental implants. The healthier you are the faster you will heal and the more smoothly your treatment will go.
