Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Dental implants are an excellent solution for many people looking to replace missing teeth, but they may not be suitable for some. A good candidate for dental implants is typically someone in good overall health with sufficient bone density in the jaw to support the implant. Healthy gums are also essential since they provide a stable foundation for the implant to fuse securely with the bone.

Ideal candidates are non-smokers, as smoking can impede the healing process and affect the success rate of the implant. However, those who smoke may still qualify if they’re willing to commit to quitting or significantly reducing smoking before and after the procedure. Individuals with certain chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease should consult with their healthcare provider and dentist to ensure their condition is well-managed before considering implants.
