Are implants for everyone? In order for you to have dental implants, you need to meet several requirements. The examination, which includes X-rays and sometimes CAT SCAN, will determine whether there is an adequate amount of healthy bone to place implants. Loss of jawbone structure due to prolonged tooth loss can make placement of the implant very difficult. However, bone regeneration technique can allow you to restore some bone by grafting it to the area where the implant is needed.

Some medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, substance abuse, heavy smoking or drinking, can prevent you from being a candidate for implant treatment. Age, however, is not necessarily an obstacle if you are in good health. Hundreds of thousands of people have received implants as a way to restore their oral health. You owe it to yourself to find out if dental implants can help you to regain your Real Smile.
