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.
