Am I a Candidate? - Bozeman, MT

Most adults missing one or more teeth are excellent candidates for dental implants. Here is what shapes implant success.

Building a Stable Foundation

Dental implants succeed when they are placed into healthy gums and adequate bone. Factors such as gum health, bone density, certain systemic conditions, and overall wellness all influence the outcome. The good news: when an obstacle exists, a preliminary procedure can often build the foundation needed for a successful implant. A thorough evaluation is the only way to know for sure.

Gum Health
Healthy gums are the seal that protects an implant. Active gum disease must be treated and brought under control before implant surgery, but it rarely rules anyone out — it simply becomes the first step in the plan.
Bone Volume
Implants need enough bone to anchor into. Where teeth have been missing for a while and bone has shrunk, a bone graft or sinus procedure can rebuild that volume so an implant has a solid home.
Systemic Conditions
Well-managed conditions such as diabetes typically do not prevent implants. Your surgeon coordinates care so that healing is optimized and risks are minimized.
Physical Health & Lifestyle
Habits like smoking can slow healing and affect implant success. Your surgeon will discuss any adjustments that improve your outcome and keep your investment protected for the long term.
