Do you feel you may be a good implant candidate? If you're interested in replacing a missing tooth or teeth, dental implants may be an option for you. Not everybody, however, is a good candidate for implants. A good candidate should have the following:



• Good health
• Healthy gums
• Enough bone to anchor the implants in the jaw — some people that have lost bone in their jaw still can get implants, but first the bone must be rebuilt using special procedures.
• A commitment to taking very good care of the implanted teeth and surrounding gums — daily brushing and flossing are essential. Regular visits to the dentist for follow-up are also important.

Implants are devices that replace the roots of the missing tooth or teeth. They are used to support crowns, bridges or dentures as well. Implants are placed in your jawbone through a surgical procedure that offers a more natural feel and comfort over replacing missing teeth with dentures.
