Do I need a Dental Implant?

The primary use of Dental Implants is to replace missing teeth. Many people also consider dental implants when the existing tooth is beyond saving and tooth extraction is necessary.

While every situation is unique, please consider Dental Implant as an option in the following cases:

  • You have a missing tooth
  • Your existing tooth is loose and is beyond saving
  • You have large cavity, which will most probably lead to tooth extraction
  • There is a lot of infection inside a tooth and gums
  • A tooth is broken because of an accident, and is beyond saving
In case if you were born without a tooth, dental implant is an option. However, it is wise to avoid dental implants for children.

Can I get an alternate Dental Procedure instead?

Dental Implants are a recent technological advancement. There are times when you can consider alternates to Dental Implants. Here are a few examples:
  • Sometimes a tooth has infection but still can be saved through procedures like Root Canal.
  • If you are missing a tooth, sometimes Dental Bridges can be a cheaper and less invasive option to consider.
  • If you have multiple missing teeth, a Partial Denture could also be a good option for you.
  • If you are already using a Removable Denture, you can consider Snap-In Dentures, which are supported by Dental Implants. They are more stable than regular dentures.
 
Please consult your dentist to know your options.

When should I not be considering Dental Implants?

There are times when Dental Implants are not a good option for you.
  • A Dental Implant involves insertion of metal post in your jaw. That requires a healthy jaw with good bone density. If there is a lot of bone loss, sometimes Dental Implant is not an option.
  • If you have a medical condition that impairs bone healing, Dental Implants might not be the best option for you.
