Why bone and gums matter
An implant needs suitable support and healthy surrounding tissues. If bone volume or gum health is inadequate, additional treatment may be discussed before implant placement.
Alternatives to implants
Depending on the case, a fixed bridge or removable replacement may also be appropriate. The best option depends on function, oral health, expectations and clinical findings.
Before deciding
A consultation should cover benefits, limitations, expected stages, maintenance, possible complications and the restoration that will be placed on the implant.
