Dental Implant FAQ - Houston, TX
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you’re wondering whether dental implants are right for you, the good news is that most patients qualify! At Newme Dental Implants in Houston, TX, we look for dental implant candidates who are in good physical health and committed to maintaining oral care.
Dental implants are a versatile and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, whether you’re missing one tooth or several. With Dr. Tareq Beck’s expertise and extensive experience providing a variety of surgical solutions, including zygomatic dental implants, Smile in 24 Hours, and bone loss solutions, we may be able to rebuild your smile even if other implant dentists have turned you away.
Healthy gums are the foundation for successful dental implants. Gum disease can weaken the tissues and bones that support your teeth, and unresolved inflammation could compromise your implants. But don’t worry.
As a periodontist, Dr. Beck is uniquely qualified to get your gums back on track and ready for implants. Keeping your gums healthy after surgery is equally important to ensure long-lasting results.
Your jawbone is the anchor for your dental implants, so having enough bone to surround and support your implants is critical. If you’ve experienced bone loss due to missing teeth or other conditions, it doesn’t mean implants are off the table.
Bone grafting is a common procedure that can rebuild the density needed for secure placement, but Dr. Beck has mastered alternative surgical approaches that may mean you can restore your smile even without bone grafts. Our practice’s advanced imaging technology allows us to assess your bone structure accurately.
Certain medications and chronic health conditions like diabetes or heart disease can influence your body’s ability to heal after implant surgery. But that doesn’t mean dental implants aren’t an option—it just requires careful planning and collaboration.
We will work closely with your healthcare providers to manage your condition appropriately before, during, and after surgery. We prioritize your overall health to give you the best chance of implant success.
Your overall physical health plays a big role in whether you make a good dental implant candidate. Factors like smoking, a weakened immune system, or poor oral hygiene can affect healing and implant stability.
We must also ensure you’re physically well enough to tolerate the surgical and healing processes. During your consultation, we’ll discuss any habits or health concerns that might impact your candidacy and offer guidance on improving your readiness for surgery. Our goal is to help you achieve a healthier smile and a healthier you!
At Newme Dental Implants, we pride ourselves on creating customized treatment plans for everyone. No two smiles are alike, and we design solutions that fit your specific goals, health needs, and budget.
Whether you’re concerned about gum health or need a bone graft to prepare for dental implants, our advanced techniques allow us to care for a wide range of dental implant candidates. Our compassionate team ensures you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.
