There are two
questions we often get asked about dental
implants:
1)Are dental
implants suitable for anyone?
In most cases,
anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can
be considered for a dental implant.
Patients
should have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant. They also must be
committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Heavy smokers,
people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders, such as
diabetes or
heart
disease, or
patients who have had radiation
therapy to the
head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis. If you are
considering implants, give us a call on 01548 852165
2) How
Successful Are Dental Implants?
Success rates
of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed
but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper
care implants can last a lifetime.
Here at this
practice we used implants made by Nobel Biocare, who are the pioneers in the
field of implant based dental restoration. For more information see
