If you have been thinking about getting dental implants, you may be wondering if you are a possible candidate for this procedure. You can take this simple test to see if this procedure might help you.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Am I missing one or more teeth?
- Do I hide my smile because of unsightly spaces between my teeth or because I am missing teeth?
- Do I lack confidence when I smile, speak or eat?
- Am I having trouble eating, chewing, or speaking properly?
- Are my teeth loose, or am I in need of treatment for advanced gum disease?
- Do I have dentures that slip or cause sore spots when I chew?
- Do my dentures need to be relined frequently because of bone loss?
- Do I carry my complete or partial dentures in my pocket or leave them at home?
- Am I having any problems with existing crowns or bridges, either functionally or cosmetically?
- Are the teeth holding my bridge loosening or moving?
- Can I wait six to nine months for the entire implant process to be completed?
- Will I be willing to commit to the high standard of home care that is necessary to properly maintain a dental implant?
- Will I follow up with regular dental checkups?
- Do I believe that my life could be improved if my teeth were improved?
