- Dental implants are getting more and more popular nowadays. In the United States alone, many people, especially the elderly population, have tried this procedure and they contribute to the great number of people who is responsible for the high success rate of this procedure.
However, not everyone can get an artificial tooth implant. You need to be screened by the periodontist, or tooth surgery experts, if you really need the procedure or if there are any other alternative interventions to address your tooth loss. Talk to your low cost dental implant surgeon in San Diego if you are unsure.
So how does the periodontist evaluates persons who can undergo in this procedure? Here are the usual candidates for dental implants:
Persons who have healthy gums and jaw bone. Since this procedure involves screwing the artificial tooth on your gums and jaw bone, periodontist often recommend that you do not have any disease or disorders in these areas. If you really want to have an implant and you have a gum disease, your periodontist will first treat that before you are allowed to undergo any tooth implant surgeries.
Persons who have matured bones. This procedure is not recommended for young children because their bones are still growing and tooth loss is usually replaced by another natural tooth. If you are at least 25 years old and above, you are a potential candidate for this procedure because there is no chance for another tooth to grow, and your jaw bone is already matured enough to hold the artificial tooth in place.
Persons who tried dentures but failed. Dentures are cheaper compared to dental implants; however, its success rate is low. Many people choke with their dentures or are put into shame every time it falls off accidentally. Implants works best because it stays tightly in place, and there is no danger of displacement even if you talk, laugh, chew, bite, or shout out loud.
