Dental Implants

Dental implants offer an excellent tooth replacement solution, but aren't suitable for everyone. At Noranda Dental Clinic, our dentists carefully evaluate several factors to determine if you're an ideal candidate for this advanced treatment.

What Makes Dental Implants Successful?

Generally, good candidates for dental implants have sufficient jawbone density and volume to securely support the titanium posts. Your bone structure provides the foundation for implants, and adequate bone is essential for successful integration and long-term stability. If you've experienced bone loss, you may require preliminary bone grafting procedures before implant placement.

Optimal oral health is another important consideration. Healthy gums free from periodontal disease create the best environment for implant success. Our Noranda, WA team will assess your gum health and address any existing issues before proceeding with implant treatment.

Certain medical conditions and lifestyle factors can affect implant outcomes. Uncontrolled diabetes, severe autoimmune disorders and smoking can compromise healing and osseointegration. During your consultation, we'll thoroughly review your medical history to identify potential concerns.

Age is rarely a limiting factor for adults, though we typically wait until jaw development is complete in younger patients.

Commitment to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups is essential for implant longevity. Patients must be willing and able to maintain meticulous home care and attend recommended maintenance appointments.
