Preparation

You will first meet with one of our oral and maxillofacial surgeons, who will conduct an evaluation to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for dental implants. Patients who receive dental implants must be in good health, have a healthy lifestyle and healthy gums, adequate bone to support implants and be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits. If your surgeon determines that you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure, he/she will work in close collaboration with your dentist to develop a dental implant treatment program.
