How do I know if a dental implant is right for me?

Dental implants can be an excellent way to replace missing teeth, but they are not the only option and may not be right for every patient. Your overall health, the health of your gums, the amount of available bone, the location of the missing tooth, and your individual goals all help determine whether an implant is a good choice.

Dr. Hannahan can evaluate your mouth and discuss the different ways a missing tooth may be replaced. If an implant is appropriate, she will explain the process and help you understand how it compares with other options such as a bridge or removable partial denture.
