Am I Eligible For Dental Implants?

Missing a tooth or a few teeth. Dental implants can bring back your bite and smile. This guide shows who is a good match, what can be improved, and the simple steps to check your fit.


Who is a good candidate for implants

Healthy gums

Gums that are free from active infection help healing. If you need a tidy up first, we will guide you. See our check ups.

Enough bone

Many people have enough bone for an implant. If bone is thin, we can often improve it with modern planning.

Good daily care

Brushing and cleaning between teeth keeps your implant and gums happy long term.

General health is stable

Most common health conditions are fine when well managed. We review your forms and medicines with care.

Who may need prep before implants

SituationWhat we do firstWhy it matters
Active gum disease Deep clean and home tips Healthy gums help implants last
Thin or soft bone Bone graft, sinus lift, or angled implants if suitable Gives firm support for the implant
Smoking Support to cut down or stop Better healing and long term success
Strong grinding at night Night guard and bite checks Protects crowns and gums
Recent tooth removal Plan timing to suit healing Sets you up for a steady result
Some medicines Review with our dentist and your GP if needed Keeps treatment safe and smooth

Not sure if you are eligible

  1. Book a friendly check and chat. We listen to goals and questions.
  2. If needed we take scans or x rays for a clear view.
  3. We share a simple plan with steps, time, and costs. See our dental fee guide.

Nervous about treatment. Many people feel the same. Read how we support nervous patients.

If implants are not right today

Dental bridge

Fills a gap by resting on nearby teeth. Good when those teeth also need crowns. Learn about a dental bridge in Ludlow.

Partial or full dentures

Removable teeth for one area or a full jaw. Budget friendly and can be a step toward implants later. See dentures.

All on implants

Fixed teeth supported by several implants per jaw. Helpful when many teeth are missing. Read about All on implants.

Zygomatic options

For very thin upper jaw bone, cheekbone support can be an option at specialist centers.


FAQs

Age is not the main issue. Gum health, bone support, and general health matter most. Many older adults do very well.

Often yes if your diabetes is well controlled. We check healing and share extra home care tips.

Smoking can slow healing. We help you cut down or stop so you get a better long term result.

We keep you comfy during treatment and share simple steps for after. Most people feel mild soreness for a short time only.

Many plans take a few months from scan to final crown. Some same day options may be possible for suitable cases. See All on implants.

Costs vary by plan and number of teeth. Visit our dental fee guide for a clear breakdown.
