Patients who are looking for dental implants with our Upper West Side implant dentist should have a few defining factors to be a candidate that will help their implants be successful. The first is proper bone support. Without enough bone, the implants won’t have a place to fit. The implant needs to fuse with bone so that the tooth can be anchored for a permanent and stable base. This is where the artificial tooth is placed. Patients should also have good oral health when considering implants. That is, no current history of smoking or alcohol and no diabetes or gum disease. Patients with these problems may end up having trouble with the implant and a lower success rate in the healing process. Periodontal disease should also be kept at bay before having implants done.

If there is not enough bone for the implant, a bone graft may be performed. In a bone graft, donor bone is grafted onto the jaw so the implant has a place to fit. To keep your implants working well, daily brushing and flossing is crucial. These habits will help keep your dental implants healthy and preserved for as long as possible. Implants never need a root canal or filling, and can last a lifetime if they are taken care of properly and good oral hygiene is followed.
