Anyone with good overall health can request dental implant treatment, as
age is not the primary criterion. However, there are some contraindications,
including individuals taking immunosuppressants, undergoing chemotherapy, using
certain psychotropic drugs, or having uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. While
smoking is not a contraindication, it can negatively impact oral health and
implant success rates.
For those already wearing full or partial dentures, dental implants
offer several benefits:
- They can eat without fear, enjoying the foods they like.
Implants restore chewing ability, promoting proper digestion.
- They facilitate speaking, laughing, and smiling with ease and
confidence.
- Implants improve the smile and even the architecture of the face.
Furthermore, for those who have lost or are at risk of losing teeth,
dental implants offer additional advantages:
- They replace lost teeth immediately, thus protecting remaining teeth.
- Implants help maintain bone density in the jaw, preserving the bone
substrate for the future.
- They help avoid the need for mobile prosthetic work in the future.
