Dental Implants require only two things; Adequate quantity of bone at the time of placement and compliance by patients with instructions and proper follow up care. Most patients then are candidates for implants. Only very few medical and dental conditions would make a person not suitable for implant surgery. If you are considering implants, your mouth must be examined thoroughly and your medical and dental history reviewed. If you mouth is not ideal for implants, there are ways of optimizing it thus improving outcome and predictability. (See bone grafting section)
