Who is a candidate for Dental Implants?
February 28, 2011 @ 05:41 PM - by Chuck
Dental Implant Restorations help people of all ages, except growing children. Factors affecting whether someone is a good candidate are:
- Sufficient bone is necessary to place an implant. If there is not enough bone to support the implant, there are medical procedures available to create new bone.
- Certain medical conditions can restrict the placement of implants. Examples include uncontrolled diabetes and several heart conditions.
- Finally, smoking can hinder the success rate of implants.
