When are dental implants not recommended?
Dental implants are an ideal method to replace missing teeth. Although we have the perception that everyone can receive implant treatment, this is not true. Active gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, etc., may prevent the use of dental implants. This blog will discuss the reasons that prevent having dental implants.
Gum disease
Gum disease is a type of infectious disease. Since the infection spreading in the gums will cause tooth and bone loss in very advanced cases, it must be kept under control. Getting a dental implant without getting gum inflammation under control will cause the treatment to fail. After getting your gum disease under control, you can safely get dental implants in Turkey.
The structure of your jawbone
Depending on the patient's bone structure, sometimes the patient's jaw bone density may be low. In this case, the patient needs to undergo bone grafting. This means additional treatment and a longer treatment period. If the patient's bone density is not sufficient and implant is placed, implant treatment will fail.
Smoking
Before dental implant treatment, it is necessary to stop or quit smoking. Smoking slows down blood flow and reduces oxygen in the blood. It facilitates the development of infection. If smoking is continued before the healing is completed after implant treatment, healing will slow down, and an infection may develop in implant area. As a result, the probability of implant treatment failure increases.
Pre-existing health conditions
The patient's existing autoimmune diseases may prevent the patient from receiving implant treatment. If a diabetic patient's disease is not under control, there is a high probability that the patient's implant will fail.
