Am I a candidate for dental implants?

While dental implants do work well for most patients, they also have some simple requirements that help make them successful:

  • Enough healthy bone structure to support the implant
  • The patient is in good general health

The best way to determine if you're a good candidate for dental implants is to book an evaluation with Dr. Mahooti. She will use x-rays and a thorough exam to determine if dental implants in Encino suit your needs. 

If you lack enough healthy bone structure to support a tooth implant, a bone grafting procedure may be able to rebuild your jawbone for optimal support. 

Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard

Dental implants rise above other tooth replacement options because they replace both the tooth and root. No other option can offer that benefit. Here are some additional advantages of dental implants to consider:

  • Natural aesthetics — Dental implants look and feel like a natural tooth.
  • Easy home care — You can brush, floss, and care for your implant as you would a natural tooth.
  • Bite function — Your chewing and biting function is restored with tooth implants.
  • Excellent longevity — Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime, providing excellent longevity and a wise long-term investment.
