Appropriate candidates for dental implants generally include individuals who have good overall health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions that may interfere with the healing process. Sufficient jawbone density is crucial to support the implant, so candidates should have an adequate amount of bone in the jaw. Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking are preferable candidates, as smoking can negatively impact the success of dental implants. Candidates should also have good oral hygiene habits and be committed to maintaining proper care of their implants post-procedure. Our comprehensive evaluation at The Dental Emergency Room will help determine if you are a good candidate!
