Are You a Candidate for Cincinnati Implant Crowns?
A dental implant crown can be a wonderful way to replace a tooth. We’ve had some amazing successes with our Cincinnati patients. But not everybody is a perfect candidate. First, you need to have enough bone material that’s accessible with which to anchor the implant. If your jaw bone is shrinking, which often happens after missing a tooth, there may not be enough to attach the crown. Smokers, especially heavy smokers, may also have problems getting implants. The mouth of a smoker takes longer to heal. Sometimes, it never heals. People who have HIV, uncontrolled diabetes, immune diseases may also have complications. The process is typically done in several stages and may take a long time. It may take a while for the implant to fuse into the bone and heal properly.
