Dental Implants
Hannibal, Missouri
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Do you hide when the camera comes out because you’re embarrassed to smile? Do have low self-esteem because of the way missing teeth make you look to others? If so, cosmetic dentist Dr. Charles Janes may be able to help you with today’s dental implants.
In general, most people with a missing tooth or teeth are candidates for dental implant procedures. Are all of the following statements true for you?
- I have lost at least one tooth to disease or injury.
- I am in overall good health.
- I have good oral health (i.e. healthy gum tissue).
- I am a non-smoker.
- I do not have uncontrolled diabetes.
- I am not undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.
If the above statements are true for you, then most likely you are a candidate for dental implants. Another important factor that has to be considered is whether you have enough bone in your jaw to integrate and secure the implant. If you don’t, bone grafts can also be considered in the treatment plan. However, only your cosmetic dentist can make this determination.
It’s crucial to choose an experienced and highly skilled cosmetic dentist like Dr. Janes to work with for your dental implant procedure. Take the time to schedule a personal dental implant consultation to hear about all your options for restoring your teeth and to ask questions about his qualifications and skills.
One more aspect of candidacy for dental implants is making sure you have your finances in order before starting the process. While some insurance companies will cover portions of the procedure, rarely will they pay for all of it. Consider third party financing for your dental implants to help with the remainder of the costs. Dr. Janes’ staff can answer any questions you have about affordable dentistry. Lastly, remember that your implants will last a lifetime and are well worth the investment in the future of your smile!
