FAQ: Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Описание: Thinking about dental implants? Here’s a fast checklist our Nu Image Surgical team uses to see if you’re a good candidate—and what to do if you’re not yet.

Great candidates typically have:
• Missing or non-restorable teeth and want a fixed solution
• Healthy gums and good oral hygiene habits
• Enough jawbone (or are open to grafting/sinus lift)
• Overall health that’s stable for minor surgery
• Non-smoker or willing to pause/quit during healing

May need prep first:
• Active gum disease → periodontal therapy/maintenance
• Bone loss at the site → grafting or sinus lift
• Bite/grinding issues → nightguard and plan with your dentist

Medical factors to discuss:
• Diabetes control, autoimmune meds, osteoporosis meds (bisphosphonates/denosumab)
• Past radiation to the jaws, smoking/vaping, blood thinners

How we plan: 3D CBCT imaging, digital guides, and a team approach with your restoring dentist to match the implant with your final crown/bridge.
