If you are missing a tooth or teeth, or even parts of your
jaw, these could be replaced with dental implants. First, there
are a few very important factors that must be considered.
Experiments and practical experience have shown that implants
work best when there is enough dense, healthy jawbone in a mouth
that will support an implant.
Healthy, disease-free gum tissues are also necessary. The
long-term success of a dental implant depends upon keeping the
gums and bone around the implant healthy. People who have
implants must keep them clean and should return regularly to
their dentist for checkups, because any problems
that might threaten the health of the implant must be corrected.
