Many patients ask whether dental implants are the right option for them, and the answer depends on your oral health, bone structure, and treatment goals. During a consultation, your implant dentist assesses your mouth, reviews your medical history and takes the necessary imaging to determine whether implants are suitable for your situation.
Dental implants may be ideal if you have healthy gums, one or more missing teeth, and enough bone to support an implant. If your bone levels are lower than ideal, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be considered to help prepare the area for implant placement. Your dentist also checks for any signs of gum disease or untreated dental concerns, as these conditions may need management before implant treatment.
Dental implants may also suit patients looking for a long-term tooth replacement option that feels secure and supports normal chewing function. However, all treatment planning is personalised, and suitability varies between individuals. Factors such as overall health, oral hygiene habits and the condition of the surrounding teeth play an important role.
