Dental implants are an excellent solution for people with one or more missing teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury. Ideal candidates typically have good health, sufficient jawbone density, and healthy gums free of periodontal disease.
Even if you don’t meet the initial criteria for dental implants, there are ways to become eligible for the procedure. Here’s how you can still qualify for dental implants in Sacramento, CA:
At a skilled dental office, several procedures can enhance your chances of receiving dental implants. These treatments include bone grafting, periodontal care, and managing overall health conditions. Let’s explore these options in detail:
If your jawbone lacks the density or volume required to support a dental implant, a bone graft can help. This procedure places graft material into the jawbone, promoting regeneration to create a strong foundation for future implants.
For patients with gum disease, periodontal treatment is necessary before getting dental implants. Healthy gums are essential for supporting the implants and ensuring long-term success.
Certain medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease must be under control before undergoing dental implant surgery. Once these health issues are managed, you can become a viable candidate for implants.
