Dental Implants Quiz: Candidacy

When it comes to replacing your teeth, the experience calls for you to consider a variety of solutions. Unlike issues like tooth decay which may either require a filling or a crown, choosing a treatment to address tooth loss is more complicated. In addition to selecting options that work with your tooth loss pattern, it’s also essential that the prosthetic works for your needs and smile goals. So, when you finally decide that dental implants offer the advantages you want, it’s important to know for sure whether you qualify. To erase any doubts about candidacy, we invite you to quiz your knowledge and then schedule a visit for your implant consultation.

Implants True-or-False Quiz

1. True or False: We will need to verify that your jawbone is in good healthy and has sufficient volume before we move forward with dental implant placement.
2. True or False: You can only replace one tooth or multiple teeth in a row with dental implants.
3. True or False: You will make a good candidate for implants only if you are prepared for a treatment that offers wonderful benefits that take some time to accomplish – implant placement does not yield immediately completed results.

Quiz Answer Key

1. True. Your jawbone supports the implant, which means you need healthy tissue. If the tissue is damaged or unhealthy, we may first suggest bone grafting. Or, we may discuss other solutions.
2. False. You will make a good candidate for dental implants no matter what your tooth loss pattern looks like. From a single tooth to simultaneous missing teeth or those spread out from one another, implants offer a versatile teeth replacement option.
3. True. The process of receiving dental implants may take several months or more since healing is required.
