Below we have mentioned 3 important attributes for a dental implant candidate. Take a look.
- A Non-Smoker
If you are a regular user of tobacco products, you might not be the best candidate for this procedure. Smoking has a direct impact on the oral health and also the rest of your body, does increasing the risk of the tooth implant not getting fixed properly to your jaw bone. Also, smokers tend to heal more slowly after a dental implant procedure.
2. Sufficient Bone Density in Jaw
For the implant to be properly set in your jaw bone that area needs to have sufficient bone density. If that’s not the case, then the doctors would perform a bone graft by taking some bone from other area of your body and transplanting it to your jawbone.
3. Healthy Gums
If you are a person who has weak gums due to any disease, you might not be a suitable candidate for a dental implant procedure. The condition of your teeth and gum and the overall oral health should be healthy otherwise the implant is quite likely to fall out due to lack of support from the gum.
