A good candidate for dental implants is someone who wants long-lasting and maintenance-free tooth replacement.
Of course, there are things to consider when getting dental implants in Columbus, OH.
Before determining candidacy, our dentist explores the following:
- Jawbone Density: We want to ensure your bone is healthy enough to support a dental implant.
- Sinus Placement: In some cases, the sinus can influence where we can place an implant.
- Health History/Medications: We take a health history to ensure implants are a safe option for you.
- Tobacco Use: Tobacco use may not rule you out as an implant candidate. However, it’s best to quit to help promote implant health and general wellness.
To determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants, we invite you to visit us for a thorough consultation.
Your Dental Implant Consultation
This visit allows us to learn more about your goals and budget. We also assess your oral health to determine implant candidacy. Sometimes, you’re an immediate candidate. Other times, the dentist recommends pretreatments, such as bone grafting or a sinus lift.
If dental implants are not an option, we can recommend alternatives.
