Find out if you are the perfect candidate for dental implants.

If you are missing one or more teeth you may be doing your research to figure out the best way to replace these teeth. You want the best restoration possible and you want one that lasts. Perhaps you’ve even stumbled upon dental implants in your research. Wondering if dental implants are right for you? Wondering if you are right for dental implants? Our Shelby Township, MI, family dentist Dr. Sood can answer this question (and more).

Here are some factors that we will take into consideration when deciding whether you are a candidate for dental implants,

Your Oral Health and Hygiene

The health of your mouth, from the gums and oral tissue to the teeth and jawbone, is incredibly important for determining whether or not implants are right for you. Adult tooth loss is often caused by advanced gum disease, so if there is uncontrolled gum disease or any active decay, these are problems we will need to treat first before starting the implant treatment process. We will perform a thorough oral exam complete with X-rays to make sure you are healthy enough for dental implants.

Your General Health

Yes, your overall health also plays a role as to whether or not you’re a good candidate for implants. Since you’ll need to undergo two minor surgical procedures right here in our Shelby Township, MI, practice in order to get dental implants, we will need to make sure that you are healthy enough first. We will ask for detailed information about your medical history including pre-existing and chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes; hypertension; heart disease) that could affect your procedure or recovery if not well controlled.

The Health of Your Jawbone

Your jawbone will not only need to support the metal implant, it will also naturally fuse together with the implant. Therefore, it’s incredibly important that you aren’t dealing with significant bone loss (a complication of tooth loss).

While these are certainly some of the qualifications that our Shelby Township, MI, dental team looks at when it comes to your candidacy for dental implants, it’s important that you come in for a consultation. To schedule a consultation with us, call Sood Family Dental at (586) 207-1471.
