People Who are Not Candidates for Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most effective way to replace a missing tooth. They offer strength and stability to restore the functionality of your teeth, and they are completely natural looking. However, our expert in dental implants in Beverly Hills will need to thoroughly examine your mouth in order to determine if you are a good enough candidate to receive an implant.
 
The ideal candidate for a dental implant will be in good oral and overall health. Since implants are placed in your jawbone, you must have adequate bone in your jaw in order to support the structure. You must also have healthy gum tissues that are void of periodontal disease.
 
Good oral health is essential for the long-term success of your dental implant. This is due to the fact that implants are intimately connected to your gum tissues and your jawbone. If you have poor periodontal health, our dentist will suggest an alternative method of restoring your tooth that is not so intimately connected to your other oral structures.
