As long as someone is fit enough to have dental extractions, he/she will likely be suitable for dental implant surgery. Smoking, diabetes and osteoporosis may affect the osseointegration rate and need expert management. Like the foundation of a house, adequate bone volume is essential for dental implants. After extractions, bone is thinned down naturally and hence it is advisable to preserve as much bone as possible. (see below) In cases with deficient bone such as the lower jaw or near the maxillary sinus, the surgeon may need to do bone grafting and sinus lift to increase the bone volume. (see below) Good oral hygiene and dental care is essential for successful dental implant therapy. |
