Losing a tooth is more than just a cosmetic issue—it can affect your confidence, oral health, and ability to eat or speak comfortably. At Hamilton Family Dentistry, restoring smiles with modern solutions like dental implants is a top priority.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants integrate with the bone to provide stability and durability, protecting facial features and maintaining proper tooth positions.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
- Good oral health: Healthy gums are critical to implant success.
- Adequate bone density: Bone grafting can help if density is low.
- Non-smoker or willing to quit: Smoking negatively impacts recovery.
- Commitment to oral hygiene: Brush, floss, and attend regular checkups.
Common Concerns
- Age rarely disqualifies candidates.
- Conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis are evaluated case by case.
- Bone loss can be addressed with grafting.
