Dr. Steve Drescher offers information about implants in a new article. The indicators of a successful implant procedure are listed and the reasons why they are important explained.
Atlanta GA: Drescher & Cohen D.D.S. and Steve Drescher are pleased to announce the release of a descriptive blog post on the topic of a good dental implant candidate. For many individuals, implant procedures are a significant investment in time and money. It is important to understand whether the procedure is likely to be successful and if the patient has the personality and characteristics to follow through with the entire treatment. The article can be found at http://www.midtownatlantadentists.com/for-patients/blog/item/13-implant-dentistry-are-you-a-good-candidate-or-not.
According to the article, it is important to have healthy gums before beginning the procedure. Poor gum condition can be due to any of several factors, including age, daily stress, genetic predisposition, certain types of medications, alcohol or substance abuse, poor nutrition, and teeth grinding. For those with gum issues, it is recommended the patient obtain treatment from a professional in order to ensure time and money is not wasted on dental implant procedures which are unsuccessful.
Certain diseases and certain treatments may negatively affect the implant procedures. Diabetic patients do not make good candidates due to the effect on bone strength. Those with hemophilia should not risk the chance of gum bleeding. Also, those with connective tissue diseases might not heal successfully. Finally, those with systemic immune deficiencies might be at a risk of infections due to the procedure. Anyone who is taking immune system suppression medications should delay implant dentistry until treatment is completed.
