Q1 Who is a good candidate for the dental implants?
A good candidate for dental implants is someone with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support the implant. Non-smokers and individuals committed to maintaining good oral hygiene are also ideal candidates. Additionally, those who do not have any chronic conditions that could interfere with healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes, are considered suitable for the procedure.
Q2 What to expect during the dental implants procedure?
The dental implant procedure typically involves several stages.
- 1
Evaluation
Initially, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted, including X-rays and impressions of your teeth and jaw.
- 2
Placement
This is followed by the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone, which may require a healing period of several months to allow the bone to integrate with the implant.
- 3
Abutment & crown
Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and finally, a custom-made crown is placed to complete the restoration.
