Questions about the process

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

This is a great question to ask before your dental implants, there are key factors you should consider:

• Strong jawbone as dental implants are inserted inside the jawbone and if there isn’t enough bone density then you should consider other treatment options

• A good overall health meaning that you have no uncontrolled disease like an autoimmune disease - diabetes or a heart condition that might cause any complications afterwards

• A good oral health without any gum disease or any infection that might spread further into other healthy tissues causing more problems and complications

What type of dental implants do I need?

If you don’t know it yet, dental implants types vary widely according to your need and they can be classified by the type of approach:

• Endosteal Implants the most common type which involves inserting the implant inside the jawbone and cover it up with an abutment and finally a crown

• Subperiosteal implants another great solution if you have low bone density and it includes implanting metal frame right under the gum line to be the base of the whole process 

• Zygomatic Implants an innovative way especially for missing teeth at the upper jaw and the cheekbones are the base for the whole process

They are also classified according to the number of missing teeth:

• Single-tooth Implant for a single void 

• Multiple teeth implant and it can be managed with more solutions like dentures or a bridge

• Full mouth implant by implanting multiple teeth to support a full dentures

And when it comes to the material of dental implants you have multiple options:

• Titanium implants the ideal material that fuses perfectly with the jawbone with an excellent strength and durability
