At Bay of Isles Dental Clinic, we believe dental implants are an excellent solution to restore the connection between a lost tooth and the gum line or jawbone. However, we prioritize the health and wellbeing of our patients, and our expert team will only recommend dental implant procedures for suitable candidates to ensure a high success rate.

There are certain factors that may make a patient unsuitable for dental implants, such as gum or periodontal diseases, inadequate jaw bone, specific medical conditions, medications, or past medical treatments. These conditions can impact the osseointegration process, which is the essential bonding of the titanium implant to the jawbone during healing. For successful integration, healthy bone structure and gums are vital.

On the other hand, a good candidate for dental implants generally has overall good dental and physical health, sufficient jaw bone to support the implant, and healthy gum tissue free of periodontal disease. Our experienced dentist will thoroughly assess your mouth, jaws, gums, and teeth to identify any potential issues that may need to be addressed before proceeding with implant treatment. We also consider your medical history to determine any risk factors that could affect the suitability of dental implants for you. Rest assured, our goal is to provide you with the most appropriate and effective dental care tailored to your individual needs.
