π¦· WHO IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are an effective way to replace missing teeth, but they may not be suitable for everyone. Your oral health, bone condition, and overall medical health play an important role in determining whether implants are right for you.
β οΈ Who May Need Extra Evaluation Before Dental Implants?
πΉ People with uncontrolled diabetes
πΉ Patients with untreated gum disease or oral infections
πΉ People with insufficient jawbone support
πΉ Heavy smokers or to***co users
πΉ Patients undergoing certain cancer treatments or radiation therapy to the jaw
πΉ People taking certain bone-related medications
πΉ Patients with medical conditions that may affect healing
π‘ The Good News: Having one of these conditions does not automatically mean you cannot get dental implants. Treatment, better disease control, bone grafting, or medical consultation may help make implants possible in some cases.
π¦· A proper dental examination and treatment plan are essential before deciding.
