Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?
If you are asking yourself this question it is likely that yes, you are a good candidate for a dental implant. While a dental implant can sound like a daunting dental procedure it is seen by dentists and patients as the gold standard of tooth replacement, making it the closest tooth replacement to the real thing!
Dental implants are the best way to give you back your smile. They give you back the same function and aesthetics as your natural teeth. Dental implants can be used in many different circumstances, some examples of these are:
- When a single tooth is missing
- Several teeth are missing (instead of bridges or dentures)
- All teeth are missing (instead of dentures)
Most people are good candidates for dental implants regardless of age. As long as you are in good health, a dental implant is a simple solution for tooth/teeth replacement.
If you think you are a good candidate for a dental implant, the first step is to make an appointment at Graft Periodontics. Dr Joslin will need to assess your mouth, including assessment of healthy gums, bone support and overall general health. She will then put together a treatment plan which is tailored to your needs. If you would like to book an appointment, please contact Sophie, Graft Periodontics’ Treatment Coordinator to set up a time that will suit you best.
What Is The Cost Of Dental Implants?
If you’re missing one or more teeth, your dentist has probably recommended dental implants as a tooth replacement option. Dental implants have evolved to become the “gold-standard” for replacing missing teeth, and it is easy to see why. First and foremost, dental implants look and function similarly to natural teeth. They are a stand-alone solution, and do not require alteration of your remaining natural teeth. Furthermore, the placement of a dental implant where a tooth has been lost acts to maintain bone, and preserves your natural jaw shape that would otherwise change following tooth loss. Read more
