Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gums, adequate bone structure, and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene.
Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, active gum disease, or certain medications can affect healing and may need to be managed before proceeding.
If your jawbone has deteriorated due to tooth loss or gum disease, bone grafting procedures can often rebuild sufficient bone to support implants. This is something we assess in detail during your initial consultation — we'll show you exactly what's happening with your bone levels on your scans and explain honestly whether implants are the right path, or whether an alternative might serve you better.
