Our Centre&nbsp;Dentaire&nbsp;is the dental center Verdun residents trust with their oral issues, but before you commit to implants, there are a few boxes you should be able to check off to determine if you&#8217;re a good candidate for dental implants:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Your gums are healthy<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your gums aren&#8217;t healthy, you may have underlying health issues that could prevent your dentist from being able to proceed with implant surgery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unhealthy gums may be a sign of many health issues, such as:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Sj\u00f6gren&#8217;s&nbsp;Syndrome<\/li>\n<li>Osteoporosis<\/li>\n<li>Anemia<\/li>\n<li>Rheumatoid&nbsp;arthritis<\/li>\n<li>HIV\/AIDS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. You have enough bone to anchor the implants<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During dental implant surgery, a screw is anchored into your jaw bone. If your bone isn&#8217;t strong enough to keep the anchor in place &#8212; or if there&#8217;s not enough bone to hold the anchor &#8212; your dentist will probably not be able to proceed with your implants.<\/p>\n<h2>3. You&#8217;re committed to your oral care<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your new teeth and the gums surrounding them will need solid care. If you&#8217;re committed to brushing, flossing, and seeing your dentist regularly, you may be a good candidate for dental implants.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Your jaw has stopped growing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, children and teenagers aren&#8217;t good candidates for dental implant surgery because their bones are still growing. Most dental implant patients are adults whose bone structures are already fused into their permanent shapes.<\/p>\n<h2>5. You&#8217;re not pregnant<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but this isn&#8217;t the time to go into dental implant surgery! Check in with our Verdun dental facility after you&#8217;ve had your baby, and after you&#8217;ve finished breastfeeding (if that&#8217;s the route you choose), so we can evaluate your potential for implants.<\/p>\n<h2>6. You&#8217;re not a heavy smoker<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking hinders healing in the mouth. Dental implant surgery requires the cleanest possible environment in order for your gums to heal properly. If you&#8217;re a heavy smoker, the success of your surgery will be hindered.<\/p>\n<h2>7. You haven&#8217;t received high-dose radiation<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radiation can impair the body&#8217;s natural ability to repair itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every dental implant surgery starts with a consultation, and it&#8217;s important to find professionals you trust to guide you throughout the process. If you&#8217;re looking for the dental centre Verdun residents look forward to visiting for all of their oral needs, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nathaliekadoch.com\/dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/nathaliekadoch.com\/dental-implants\/\">Schedule your initial consultation<\/a> with Dre Nathalie Kadoch and the team at Centre Dentaire today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you considering dental implants?
