If you don’t represent the ideal case for dental implants, it’s essential to seek treatment from a team with extensive surgical and prosthetic expertise. Dental implants are a complex treatment, particularly for patients with extensive bone loss, missing teeth, or underlying health conditions.

There’s no better team in the state to provide comprehensive care, from your initial consultation to the final delivery of your new smile.
To determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants, a comprehensive evaluation by our team is required. This includes an assessment of your gums, bone, and teeth, along with a review of your dental and medical history. Our team will evaluate any systemic conditions or lifestyle factors, such as smoking, that may affect your candidacy. In general, the following factors affect dental implant candidacy:
Dental implants need a healthy oral environment to remain successful long-term. If infection is present, it can damage both the gum tissues and bone. Active gum disease will require treatment before dental implants can be placed to avoid failure.
The health of your jawbone is crucial to dental implant success. Without proper density and volume, dental implants will not have the support they need. Bone may need to be rebuilt and strengthened through bone grafting surgery.
Underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and immune system disorders can make it more difficult for your body to heal after surgery. Systemic disease also increases the risk of infection after surgery. Having these conditions doesn’t mean we can’t offer you dental implants; it just means we may adjust your treatment plan to improve the chances of a successful outcome.
At Dental Care at O-Town West, we not only help patients become candidates for dental implants but also provide personalized treatment that reflects their individual health, functional, and aesthetic goals.
An important part of the process is understanding what you want from your new teeth—whether it’s the ability to eat a full diet, a beautiful smile, or confidence to socialize. The good news is that dental implants can meet and often exceed these expectations!
Don’t let what others have told you keep you from beginning your journey to a new smile with us. We’re here to offer you a personalized consultation and help you become a candidate for dental implants in Orlando, Florida.
