Because dental implants are fixed directly into the jawbone through a surgical procedure, they are not suitable for everyone. The first requirement is that bone growth must be complete. This means that dental implants are generally unsuitable for children and adolescents. But adults also need to have a stable state of health before they can consider implants. You should not use dental implants if you:
- - Suffer from type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- - Have an acute cancer
- - Are addicted to alcohol or drugs
- - Take certain medications
- - Have certain blood disorders
- - Have incomplete bone growth
- - Smoke (this can affect wound healing)
- - Have a bone disease
- - Have tooth decay or periodontal disease
If you are unsure whether dental implants are safe for you, you can make an appointment for a no-obligation consultation with us at Zahnzentrum Mitte. After the examination, we will advise you in detail about possible risks and which treatment options are suitable for you.
