Dental Implants
The only way to know for sure if you’re a good dental implant candidate is with a thorough examination by our dentist or oral surgeon. However, the good news is that advances in implant technology and techniques have made this treatment accessible to more people than ever before.
Ideal Implant Candidates
Generally, good candidates for dental implants are:
- Missing one or more teeth
- In good general and oral health
- Have adequate bone density in the jaw to support implants
- Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking during the implant process
- Committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits
Dental Implant Medical Considerations
Certain medical conditions require special consideration but don't necessarily rule out implant treatment:
- Diabetes — Well-controlled diabetes typically doesn't prevent implant success
- Osteoporosis — Special protocols can often accommodate patients with bone density concerns
- Gum disease — Must be treated and controlled before implant placement
The Dental Implant Assessment
A thorough dental implant evaluation at All Dental Tampa Palms includes:
- Medical and dental history review
- Full oral examination
- 3-D cone beam images to assess bone structure
- Discussion of goals and expectations
Based on the results, our team will create a personalized treatment plan or suggest alternatives if implants aren't right for you.
