Good candidates for dental implants include non-smokers with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density who are missing one or more teeth. The ideal candidate should also practice regular oral hygiene and be willing to visit our Pearland, TX office at least once every six months for regular dental exams.
If your jawbone lacks density, your dentist may recommend supplemental procedures like bone grafting and vertical sinus augmentation to improve your chances of implant success. Rest assured that your Pearland implant dentist will evaluate your candidacy at your consultation and let you know about all of your options, so you can make a decision that suits your unique oral health needs.
