Many patients are good candidates for dental implants. However, we provide an evaluation to be sure. We’re looking at your jawbone density and (potentially) your sinus placement. You may be an immediate candidate for implant dentistry, require pretreatments, or the dentist may have to recommend an alternative.
Potential pretreatments for dental implants in Anderson, SC, May Include:
- Jaw Bone Grafting
- Sinus Lift
- General Dental Care
The ideal dental implant candidate would be someone who does not smoke. If you smoke, we recommend quitting. However, tobacco use does not necessarily rule you out for dental implants.
The Dental Implant Process
First, the dentist evaluates you. If you’re a candidate for implant dentistry, we then plan your treatment, which includes placing the implant (or implants) into the jawbone using image-guided technology.
After placement, the implant integrates with the jawbone, and we add a crown or prosthetic to complete the work.
Dental implants may be single (one implant and one tooth crown), or the dentist can use up to six implants to secure an arch of replacement teeth to the gum.
