Is there an alternative to dentures or implants?
What is the Best Alternative to Dentures? Our dentists may recommend dental implants, overdentures, or dental bridges as denture alternatives. They'll help you explore your tooth replacement options based on your oral health, jawbone density, and a number of missing teeth.
When can you not have dental implants?
To have implants placed, a patient must go through oral surgery. So, the patient must be in good physical health. They must also have adequate bone in the jaw to support the implants. If they have suffered from chronic illnesses like diabetes or leukemia, they may not be a good candidate for dental implant surgery.
Who is not a good candidate for dental implants?
Similar to why sufficient bone density is so important, implants require strong, healthy gums to be successful. A patient who has a chronic case of gum disease or receding gums is not a strong candidate for the dental implant procedure.
