The option of dental implants, while being of high quality and durability, is not available to all. To know exactly whether you qualify for a dental implant procedure you should have your dentist examine you.
A dental implants procedure requires that the patient be of good physical and especially oral health. There can be no sign of gum disease or dental decay. The dental implant is placed inside the jawbone so it is important that the bone be deep and wide to support the implant. If there isn’t enough bone tissue then a special bone grafting procedure is performed. Even if this fails, a special type of implant called “subperiosteal” implant is used.

A subperiosteal implant allows to be fitted on top of a preexisting bone in the mouth. There are other types of dental implants. The most common type and the one that resembles more closely a natural tooth root is the root form implant. This implant requires a strong and deep jaw and it can be used for one or more teeth. Even a complete arch can be achieved with root form implants.
Plate form implants are used when the patient has a narrow jawbone and cannot have a bone grafting performed. The plate form implant is long and flat and it is fixed into the patient’s jawbone. Once the dentist or the oral surgeon has cleared the jawbone area he prepares it so that the bone adjusts to the implant shape. As with all types of dental implants, there is healing period associated with the procedure and this depends upon the individual and his health. That is why it is important that one maintain oral hygiene and have regular dental checkups. Infections, diseases and other dental troubles can weaken the bone and as a result the rest of the teeth so it is important that you fix your teeth in time.
