Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants? Key Factors to Consider

Healthy gums, adequate bone (or grafting potential), and controlled medical conditions are key. A consultation with 3D imaging confirms suitability and maps your plan.

Factors to Consider

  • Periodontal health and hygiene
  • Bone volume; need for grafting or sinus lift
  • Medications and systemic health
  • Smoking and grinding habits
