If you have healthy gums and teeth and sufficient bone then a dental implant\u00a0could be a suitable treatment option to replace your missing teeth.<\/p>\n
However, you will require a dental assessment and we recommend you visit a\u00a0dentist who is experienced in placing dental implants and knowledgeable enough to provide you with the best advice.<\/p>\n
Dental Implants <\/a>may not be a suitable treatment option for you and your implant dentist may advise against them for\u00a0the following reasons:<\/p>\n You will not know if you have sufficient bone density to support a dental implant without an assessment by your implant dentist. This might involve an x-ray or a CT scan.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have sufficient bone structure, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have a dental implant to replace\u00a0a missing tooth<\/a> . It may still be possible to create new bone with a sinus augmentation (this procedure is often used for upper teeth at the back of the mouth) or to have a bone grafting procedure where bone tissue from elsewhere is grafted into your jaw ; once integrated this can be utilised to support your dental implant and replace missing teeth<\/a><\/p>\n\n
