While dental implants are effective for most patients, they have specific requirements for success.
First, the patient must have enough healthy bone structure to support the implant. If you lack bone due to trauma, denture wear, or tooth loss, Dr. Suarez may recommend a bone grafting procedure prior to your implant placement to rebuild your bone structure.
Next, the patient should be in good overall health, with no concerns about conditions such as tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease. If you have any teeth in need of treatment or repair, Dr. Suarez will recommend that you complete those procedures before starting your dental implant journey.
