Have you lost a tooth due to an injury?
Are you suffering from periodontal disease?
Did you have a tooth extracted?
Dental implants are a great way to replace a tooth or
teeth that you’ve lost. Are you unsure if this procedure would work for you?
Well, we have compiled a little research that can help you determine if a
dental implant is right for you!
According to the American Academy of Periodontology,
“the ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health.
Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant, and the best
candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.”
Frequently Asked Questions:
What’s the procedure like?
It depends on whether you want one or more teeth
replaced with a dental implant. If you’re missing a single tooth, one implant
and a crown can replace it. If you’re missing several teeth, implant-supported
bridges can replace them.
What can I expect after having a dental implant
procedure?
Dental implants require the same care as your original
tooth. Please consult with your dentist on the best care and treatment options
for you.
Can I use whitening products on my dental implant/s?
No, whitening products only work on natural teeth.
However, if your dental implant gets discolored due to smoking, the
discoloration can be removed during a polishing session at your dentist office.
