A dental implant is a popular long-term tooth replacement because its look, feel, and function is similar to
a natural tooth. If you wonder if you’re a good implant candidate, here are a few things you should know
Who Is a Good Dental Implant Candidate in Marysville?
An ideal implant candidate has the following:
- One or more missing teeth
- Adequate jawbone density to anchor the implants
- Good oral health with no gum disease
- Good overall health to undergo minor oral surgery
However, even if these don't all currently apply to you, we can take steps to make you a good candidate in the future.
Dr. Timmerman's Comprehensive Evaluation
The first step is an in-depth evaluation to determine your suitability. This includes a thorough oral exam, medical history assessment, digital x-rays and CBCT scans. These steps help Dr. Timmerman understand your unique situation and customize your best treatment plan.
Overcoming Bone Density Challenges
What if you lack sufficient bone density to support a dental implant? Fortunately, Dr. Timmerman offers procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts. These treatments can enhance the bone volume in your jaw and create a solid foundation for implants.
