WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Anyone who has lost a tooth can appreciate the advantages of dental implants. But there are certain criteria you have to meet to make sure that dental implants will be successful. As an experienced implant dentist, Dr. Adam Chapnick will give you a thorough examination and make sure your medical history indicates that you are a good candidate for a dental implant.

While deciding who is a candidate for dental implants is not as simple as answering “yes” to a list of questions, there are some basic qualifications that can give you an idea whether your dental implants will succeed or if you are at risk for a poor outcome.

• Are you a non-smoker?
• Are you in general good health, without diabetes or autoimmune disease?
• Will you commit to good oral hygiene practices?
• Do you have the time and patience to comply over several months with the multistep procedure and healing that is involved?

If you can answer yes to all of these questions, you should consider having a complete evaluation to see if you are a candidate for this best-of-all-worlds dental restoration. Dr. Chapnick will be happy to give you a more thorough evaluation to determine how well you qualify for dental implants. He will check your health history, medication prescriptions, jawbone structure, oral health and other factors that affect the outcome of dental implants.
