« Dental Implants? Are they the right choice for you? | Main  |  »   Are you a excellent candidate for dental implants? If you have one or multiple gone teeth and are thinking about getting dental implants, you may be wondering if you are a excellent candidate for it or not.  Generally, if you are in excellent health and a non-smoker adult,  you are a excellent candidate for dental implants.  Majority of dental implant failures are due to smoking habits.  Smokers are at greatest risk for bone loss, especially around their dental implants.  This can greatly compromise the prognosis of dental implants with eventual loosening and implant loss.  Therefore, for those of you who are serious about replacing your gone teeth with dental implants, it is to your best interest if you could quit smoking first. This is not only excellent for your overall health, but for your total oral health including your dental implant health, also.  The second risk factor for dental implant failures are if you are a grinder or clencher.  But, this is preventable by providing you with a bite guard to protect your dental implants from any biting trauma which is caused by excessive grinding or clenching of your teeth. At Advanced Dentistry & Implant Center at Scripps located in Del Mar, Dr Roya Mirkhan can provide you with the latest science and technology regarding dental implants and your options for the best possible result.  Delight visit her website at www.drmirkhan.com and learn more about dental implants.
