Dental implants are an ideal replacement for a single missing tooth or to support a full arch removable or fixed prosthesis.
Key factors to be considered for choosing the ideal candidate for dental implants:
- Bone quality and quantity
- Good bone density is needed to adequately support the implants.
- The type of crown replacement and the type of bite force
- To be able to give a crown in the most natural position in the mouth that was previously occupied by the original natural teeth with a favourable bite to help chew with the crowns given over the implant.
- Surgical part – Pre-existing medical conditions
- For the most part, if you are healthy enough to have regular dental treatment, then you are healthy enough to get dental implants. In case of diabetes, as long as your blood sugar is under control, with the help of diet, exercise and medication, you are healthy to get implants!
- Maintenance phase of dental implants
- Dental implants require daily maintenance, they should be kept free and plaque-free. You must be committed not only to daily performance of dental hygiene at home, but to regular visits to your dentist. It is recommended that you see your dentist every 3 to 6 months for a professional exam and cleaning.
