Unmatched strength, durability and a natural feel make dental implants the gold standard in tooth loss solutions. With proper placement and care, these modern marvels of dentistry can last for years. Unfortunately, however, not every patient is a suitable candidate for dental implants.
A person’s medical history is crucial in determining their suitability for dental implants. A suitable candidate for dental implants is one who:
- Is 18+ years of age
- Has a fully developed jawbone (this typically happens between the ages of 18 and 24)
- Doesn’t have gum disease
- Has a sufficiently strong jawbone and periodontal structure to support an implant.
Making the Most of Your Dental Implants
After dental implant placement, patients should fully commit (or re-commit) to a strong at-home dental care routine. Also, eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, leafy greens, calcium and fibre, can help ensure a dental implant’s longevity and success—not to mention a patient’s overall health.
