Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Dental Implants

Dental implants are a reliable, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, and they can restore more than just your smile. For many people, implants restore comfort, confidence and the ability to eat and speak with ease. If you're wondering whether you're a good candidate, the answer depends on a few key health and lifestyle factors.

At Best St. Dental in Wagga Wagga, we offer single-tooth implants, implant-retained bridges and implant-supported dentures, all tailored to suit your individual needs. We will carefully assess your oral health and medical history before recommending options for your smile.

What Makes Someone a Good Candidate?

Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth may be suitable for dental implants. You're likely a good candidate if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth
• Practise good oral hygiene
• Are free from gum disease
• Have enough jawbone density to support an implant (or are open to a graft if needed)
• Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during the healing period
• Don’t have medical conditions that interfere with healing (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes)

Even if you’ve been missing teeth for a while, dental implants may still be possible with the right planning and support.
