What Are Dental Implants?
Before diving into candidacy, let’s quickly break down what dental implants are. A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, serving as a sturdy replacement for a missing tooth root. Once healed, the implant supports a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration—resulting in a secure, lifelike tooth that feels and functions like your own.
The process is precise, effective, and designed to last. And with the right technology and expertise, your new smile can feel life-changing.
Ideal Candidates For Dental Implants
Dental implants work for many patients, but certain factors help determine whether you’re a strong candidate. You may qualify for implants if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Are in generally good overall health
- Have healthy gums, free of active infection
- Have sufficient bone density to support an implant
- Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during the healing process
- Want a permanent solution over removable dentures or bridges
Even if you’re not sure whether you meet all of these requirements, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. With our advanced imaging and collaborative approach, we can often find solutions even for complex cases.
What If You’ve Been Told You’re Not A Candidate?
If you’ve previously been told you’re not a candidate due to bone loss or gum issues, don’t give up just yet. Our team works closely with top local specialists—oral surgeons, periodontists, and orthodontists—to create custom treatment plans that can include bone grafting, gum therapy, or other preparatory procedures.
At Smile Culture Dental, we believe in going the extra mile. Our goal isn’t to tell you “no”—it’s to explore how we can make it work, while always being honest and transparent with what’s possible.
Technology That Supports Same-Day Answers
One of the things that sets our office apart is how quickly and accurately we can evaluate your candidacy. With digital 3D scanning and CBCT imaging, we get a full picture of your bone health, tooth position, and surrounding structures—without any mess or discomfort.
This technology also enables many patients to begin their implant journey the same day as their consultation. We know your time is valuable, and we’ve built our workflows to reflect that—without compromising quality or care.
