Holly<\/a>! They\u2019re easily the most long-lasting, comfortable, and lifelike way to rebuild your beautiful smile. While anyone who\u2019s missing teeth is usually a good candidate for this state-of-the-art dental treatment, there are factors that may cause some cases to be more complex than others. Read on to learn more about some of the most common ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Number of Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how many gaps you have in your smile, dental implants can help. However, the number of teeth you need to replace plays a key role in what type of restoration you\u2019ll need and the complexity of your case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Implant-retained crowns are used to replace a single missing tooth, and only need one titanium post. These are typically the least complicated cases.<\/li><li>Implant-retained bridges are used to replace several missing teeth in a row with a dental bridge that\u2019s supported by one titanium bridge on either side of the gap.<\/li><li>Implant-retained dentures can replace and entire arch of missing teeth. However, since four to six implants are needed to hold the denture in place, these cases are usually more complex.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jawbone Density<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants become a permanent fixture in your smile by fusing directly with your jawbone. If it\u2019s been some time since you\u2019ve lost your tooth, it\u2019s likely that your jawbone has lost some density. It may also be thinner or weaker because of age or medical conditions. In these cases, there typically isn\u2019t enough bone mass to support the dental implant. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t get them eventually! You may need to strengthen your jawbone with a bone graft first before you\u2019re ready for your new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Health Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since a dental implant is surgically inserted into your jaw, it\u2019s essential that your mouth is healthy. An abundance of plaque or bacteria will increase your risk of the implant site getting infected and threaten its success. Before giving you the green light for dental implants, your dentist will carefully check for any oral health issues that need to be addressed first, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Tooth decay or damage<\/li><li>Gum disease<\/li><li>Oral infections or sores<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the dental implant process is a surgical procedure in the mouth, the health of the rest of your body needs to be taken into account as well. You\u2019ll need to be healthy enough for minor surgery and have any systemic health conditions under control. If you have issues like diabetes or HIV that influence your immune system, you\u2019ll need to take special care that your dental implant site doesn\u2019t become infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every dental implant case may be as simple as we would like, but the long-term benefits are well worth the effort! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mthollyfamilydentistry.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">Your Mt.
