Dental implants are a natural-looking way to replace a missing tooth or missing teeth. Like your natural teeth, dental implants do not require the support of surrounding teeth, and are a permanent tooth replacement, unlike partial dentures which can be removed. However, not every person is a good candidate for dental implants.
If you want to find out about your candidacy for dental implants, the best option is to visit Dr. Quigless for an
implant dentistry consultation. He may tell you that you are a good candidate, or he may recommend a different course of treatment for replacing your missing teeth.
Some individuals who are not a good candidate for dental implants right now may become good candidates in the future by:
• Quitting smoking or drug use
• Getting diabetes under control
• Having a bone graft to promote healthy jaw bone tissue
• Using one of the alternative
types of dental implantsThe only way to know for sure whether you are a good candidate for dental implants is by visiting Dr. Quigless for a consultation. Please
contact dental implant dentist Dr. Quigless today to learn more about implant dentistry or to schedule your dental implant consultation at our Saint Louis office. We welcome patients from the surrounding areas of Belleville and Brentwood in Missouri.
