The Ideal Dental Implant Candidate?
A dental implant can replace as little as one tooth, or a complete set of teeth. The ideal dental candidate is essentially in good general and oral health. Temporary implants can be placed as early as in the teens to anchor a provisional crown or be used to complement orthodontics. Seniors, well into the ++90s, have been well documented to receive dental implants, with good success rates. Orthodontist Georgetown Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the main factors in tooth loss. Other causes of tooth loss include, trauma/accidents, congenitally missing, decay, access to care, cancer, wear (grinding), genetics, dry mouth, and acid erosion/reflux. Ask Dr. Ace Jovanovski, with Jovan Prosthodontics, if you are the ideal dental implant candidate!
