They can help maintain your gum tissue and underlying bone, and can also preserve the structure of the face (where missing teeth might have created a sunken appearance). Best of all, they\u2019re natural-looking, and a much more discreet option than dentures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are there any pre-requisites for dental implants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to having tooth implants, there are a couple of things that\nare considered to be \u2018pre-requisites\u2019 \u2013 a condition you need to meet in order\nto have the treatment. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Being a\nnon-smoker<\/strong> \u2013 smoking not only seriously affects your general health, but\nit\u2019s damaging for your oral health, too. It can lead to gum recession, which\ncould affect the success of your treatment (i.e. cause the tooth implant to become\nloose) and can also inhibit the healing part of the process.<br>\n<br>\n<\/li><li><strong>Having\ngood oral health<\/strong> \u2013 being generally orally healthy is essential for tooth implants. If you\nhave gum or periodontal disease, again, this could affect the longevity of the dental implants, and even\nwhether you\u2019d be a suitable candidate in the first place. That\u2019s why a detailed\nconsultation is always required for the treatment. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What about teenagers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants shouldn\u2019t be recommended to those under 18. That\u2019s because your jaw is still growing and bones are still developing in younger people. Our dentists always focus on developing good oral habits in children and teenagers, to help prevent the need for treatments such as dental implants in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can you be too old for dental implants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No \u2013 age doesn\u2019t really factor into the decision. It\u2019s more centred around patient suitability, as we\u2019ve already touched on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do dental implants need replacing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in place, your tooth implants should last a lifetime. Of course, you\u2019ll need to maintain high oral health standards and ensure you have regular check-ups with our team. If you\u2019d like to start on your implants journey, then talk to our dentists today!
