Periodontal disease is one of the most common causes of tooth loss. Once your smile diminishes your confidence and self-esteem are affected. The success or failure of dental implant surgery is dependant on good strong healthy teeth, gums and jaw bone. To be a good candidate for dental implants you need to be highly motivated to improve and maintain healthy teeth and gums to support the dental implant.
Implants are considered the “gold standard” for replacement of missing teeth as they are fixed in place and don’t require any preparation of adjacent teeth. They usually involve having a titanium implant placed into the gum with a crown placed on top. Implants can also be used as “anchors” to stabilize dentures and prevent them moving around where this option for tooth replacement is appropriate.
