If you think that you’re alone in your thoughts and assumptions that certain people make prime candidates for dental implants but that you probably don’t, let us reassure you: This is a very common way of thinking! The bad news is that it’s not a very accurate line of thinking in regard to replacing teeth with implants, which means many individuals out there could probably happily choose implants … but they unintentionally talk themselves out of it. Rather than figuring that you have an obstacle or two that’s going to get in the way, why not come in to speak with our Austin, MN team instead, so you know for sure what you can and cannot qualify for? You may be shocked to learn that there is usually a pathway that will lead you directly toward implants!
Even Though You Smoke…
You have probably heard that if you smoke and you have dental implants, this is a very bad combo. It’s not terrible but it certainly isn’t the best. The truth, however? It’s not impossible. As for smoking and implants, the primary factor is that implants require oral surgery and recovering, during which time you will have to avoid smoking to prevent serious complications. While it’s best to avoid smoking and all tobacco if you wear implants, this is certainly something you should further discuss with our team.
Even Though Your Jaw Isn’t Ready Right Now…
You might know for sure that your jaw is not ready for dental implants right now. However, you assume that this is going to be a forever-problem and that it is one that will disqualify you completely from receiving dental implants for your tooth loss. Luckily, this isn’t accurate at all! While your road toward replacements with implants may be lengthier, it’s possible! You may first require bone grafting with the help of an oral surgeon (we will refer you to one that we trust!).
Even Though You Assume They’re Too Costly…
You may be right that dental implants and the financial investment they require won’t work for you. However, you may also be wrong! Before you make guesses, talk with us. You might discover that through customized care and financing, you can make this prosthetic treatment your final decision for your smile.
