5 Factors That Impact Full Mouth Tooth Replacement Candidacy
With an estimated 178 million Americans missing at least one tooth, if you have tooth loss, you’re not alone. However, we understand every patient is different, so when creating a personalized solution to replace your missing teeth, we consider every detail to ensure full mouth tooth replacement is right for you. The following factors play a role in determining your candidacy for this treatment:
Gum Health
The gums help hold the teeth in place, so we closely examine your gum health when considering full mouth tooth replacement. Dental implants are inserted through the gums and into the jawbone, making good gum condition crucial to smooth healing and a faster recovery. If you have uncontrolled gum disease, we can help you treat it, so you can still restore your smile with dental implants.
Jawbone Density
Tooth roots stimulate and strengthen the jawbone, so when teeth fall out, the jawbone may weaken and degrade over time. Because dental implants are inserted into the jawbone, it’s essential to have enough structure to support them. If you don’t have adequate jawbone density for dental implants, bone grafting can add volume, prepare your jaw for the implants, and give you the best chance of successful results.
Oral Hygiene
Maintaining good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and getting regular cleanings, ensures your dental implants last a lifetime and your restoration lasts as long as possible. Our dedicated professionals provide clear, straightforward care instructions to keep your smile strong and healthy after your full mouth tooth replacement.
Lifestyle and Habits
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of gum disease, gum recession, and other oral health issues. Smoking also significantly slows down the body’s healing process by restricting blood flow and reducing the blood’s oxygen levels. If you don’t smoke or are willing to quit, you have the best chance of implant success and reduced risk of future complications.
Medical Conditions and Medications
Full mouth tooth replacement is a dental procedure, so we consider your health history and medications to identify potential factors that may make the treatment too risky. For example, diabetes, uncontrolled gum disease, autoimmune conditions that affect healing, and certain medications can reduce your chance of implant success. We take the time to find the right treatment based on your unique needs so you achieve your dream smile.
