Frequently Asked Questions Will dental implants work for me? Anyone who is missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease or decay may be a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants help maintain the integrity of the jawbone, preventing bone shrinkage. Neighboring teeth are not impacted as in bridges, and implants are usually a permanent solution to the loss of teeth. Occasionally, older patients express concern that their age may prevent them from enjoying the benefits of dental implants. However, health is more of a determining factor than age. If you are healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you are probably healthy enough to receive dental implants. Implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth. Our dentists are the best persons to evaluate whether dental implants are a viable solution for you. Back To FAQs
