Having gaps in your mouth from missing teeth can impact your smile and ability to eat or even talk clearly. Dental implants may provide a solution for replacing them, but not everyone is a good candidate. At Bayshore Gardens Family & Cosmetic Dentistry - Bradenton, our dentist in Bradenton, FL, can help you determine if implants will work for you!

How Much Healthy Jawbone Do You Have?

Implant posts need to be able to fuse with jaw tissue and create an anchor for prosthetic teeth. You’ll need an adequate amount of healthy jawbone for that, or explore bone grafting that adds tissue.

Are Your Gums in Good Condition?

Implants tend to be more successful when you have good oral health, including healthy gums. If you have gum disease, we may recommend treating that before approving you for implants.

Do You Want to Replace Teeth Quickly?

Getting dental implants in Bradenton, FL, doesn’t provide a fast solution to replace teeth. It can take at least a few months or even longer, depending on how long your jaw takes to heal.

Do You Have Any Medical Conditions?

Autoimmune diseases and similar medical conditions may affect the healing process and increase the risk of having dental implants fail. We’ll go over your medical history during your consultation.

Are You a Smoker?

Smoking is among the top reasons for dental implants to fail. If you smoke, you’ll need to work on quitting before getting dental implants.
