New Dental Implants

New dental implants are all the rage in cosmetic dentistry. Every where you turn you can find advertisements for dentists willing to do new dental implants, for a hefty fee of course. Dental implants have become so popular because they do one thing dentures can never do, turn back time!

New dental implants are the closest thing you can get to turning back the clock to a time when your mouth was full of pearly whites. Unlike dentures implants are a permanent solution that is the closest you can get to real teeth. So what exactly are dental implants and why would you want to get them?

In order to get a new dental implant you must first be considered a good candidate. In some cosmetic dentistry offices this is going to mean you are a non-smoker. Smoking increases the failure rate of cosmetic dental implants and many dentists feel it is a waste of time to implant them when they will likely need to be removed.

Other candidacy issues include the health of your gums, extent of procedure (one tooth or many) and the amount of bone that is available to attach them to. If you have a jaw bone that has been worn down for whatever reason your chances for receiving new dental implants successfully just went down. Before you can have implants you will need bone grafts to build the jaw bone up enough to support the implants.

It would be nice if you could look in the mirror and determine for yourself if you are a good candidate for new dental implants, however this is something only a professional dentist can determine.
