An ideal candidate for dental implants is a patient with good overall health, missing teeth, and enough bone to support the implant.

Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or bone disorders may make the procedures complicated. The best way to know for sure is to get a full dental exam and a review of your medical history.

It is also worth noting that implants are usually pricier than other treatments. Patients without insurance coverage might have to explore more affordable alternatives.
