Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to live with those problems\nforever. Modern dentistry offers several tooth replacement options, the best of\nwhich are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.friscoperio.com\/placement-of-dental-implant-bridges-dentures.html\">dental\nimplants in Frisco<\/a>. Still, since this is a delicate and complex procedure,\nyou may be asking yourself, \u201cAm <em>I <\/em>a\ngood candidate for dental implants?\u201d Let\u2019s talk about some signs that indicate\nthat yes, this treatment could work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Are an Adult with Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since children and teenagers haven\u2019t reached full physical\nmaturity, they are not good candidates for dental implants. However, most\nadults <em>are <\/em>eligible to undergo the\ntreatment, regardless of how many teeth they are missing. If you are missing\njust one tooth, a single implant with its accompanying crown may be ideal for\nyou. Implant-supported brides and dentures are available for individuals who\nhave suffered more extensive tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Are in Fair Oral and Overall Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since placing dental implants requires a surgery, it\u2019s\nimportant that candidates for the procedure are healthy enough to heal well\nfrom the procedure. Therefore, if you have any conditions that affect your\nimmune system or that could slow down healing time, these must be well-managed.\nFor example, if you have diabetes, you should be sure that it is not posing any\nimmediate threats to your well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your oral health is also pivotal. You should be free of gum\ndisease and have a jawbone that is strong enough and large enough to support\ndental implants. However, if you <em>do <\/em>have\noral health problems, that doesn\u2019t mean you can never receive implants. You may\nsimply have to go through some preliminary treatment before your implant placement\nsurgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Want to Forget about Your Tooth Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dental implants process may take several months to a\nyear to complete. However, once your final restorations (crown, bridge, or\ndentures) are in place, they will look and feel so natural that you might\nforget you ever had an empty space in your smile! Implants provide a remarkably\nstrong bite force and do not require any complicated care. The restorations are\nmade of high-quality materials that closely resemble real tooth enamel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of dental implants go even further. Since they\nact as substitute tooth roots, they help to preserve the jawbone, helping it to\nmaintain its shape and density. Therefore, you won\u2019t have to worry about\nchanges to your bone affecting the way your face looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are the next best thing to natural teeth,\nand most people are candidates for them. To find out for sure if this treatment\nis a fit for you, schedule a consultation with a qualified implant expert.\nAfter they evaluate your oral health and talk to you about your smile goals,\nthey can plot out a custom treatment plan to help you achieve a healthy,\ncomplete grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Zachary Carnow is a periodontist in Frisco who partners\nwith other local professionals to provide comprehensive implant services.
