Are Dental Implants Right For Me?

If you’re missing one or more teeth, you may be wondering if dental implants are the right solution for you. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants offer a permanent, natural-looking, and fully functional restoration. But how do you know if you’re a good candidate?

At MR Dental Aesthetics, Dr. Mahnaz Rashti carefully evaluates each patient during a one-on-one consultation to determine if implants are the best choice for their unique needs. Below are some of the factors to consider to determine if dental implants may be right for you.

You Have Missing Teeth and Want a Long-Term Solution

If you’re tired of dealing with gaps in your smile, dental implants offer a lifelong solution. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants are permanently anchored into the jawbone, giving you stability and confidence in your bite. Whether you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or a full arch, Dr. Rashti can design a treatment plan to restore your smile beautifully and effectively.

You Have Sufficient Jawbone Density

Since dental implants fuse with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration), having enough healthy bone is essential. If you’ve experienced bone loss due to gum disease or prolonged tooth loss, Dr. Rashti will assess whether a bone graft is necessary to create a strong foundation for your implants. Even if you’ve been told elsewhere that you don’t have enough bone, Dr. Rashti’s expertise in periodontology allows her to find solutions that work for you.

You Want a More Secure Alternative to Dentures

Traditional dentures can slip, shift, or feel uncomfortable, making everyday activities like eating and speaking challenging. Dental implants, on the other hand, provide a secure and natural fit, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak with ease—without worrying about movement or adhesives. If you’re frustrated with removable dentures, implant-supported restorations can dramatically improve your quality of life.

You Want to Prevent Jawbone Deterioration

When teeth are missing, the jawbone naturally shrinks over time due to lack of stimulation. This can cause changes in facial structure, premature aging, and difficulty wearing dentures. Dental implants help preserve bone density by mimicking natural tooth roots and stimulating the jawbone. If you want to ensure optimal oral health and prevent facial sagging over time, implants are a proactive solution to prevent further bone loss.

You Maintain Good Oral Hygiene

Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, but they also require proper care to ensure their longevity. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are essential to keep your implants and surrounding gums healthy. If you’re committed to good oral hygiene and routine dental visits, implants can last a lifetime with proper care.

You Are in Good Overall Health

Because implant placement is a surgical procedure, it’s important to be in generally good health. Uncontrolled conditions like diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or heavy smoking can affect your body’s ability to heal and may impact implant success. However, Dr. Rashti works closely with patients with medical concerns to help them optimize their health before treatment.

You Want a Natural-Looking Smile

Dental implants are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike bridges, which require the alteration of healthy teeth, implants stand alone—restoring both function and aesthetics without compromising adjacent teeth. Whether replacing one tooth or an entire arch, Dr. Rashti ensures that your implant restorations match your facial structure, bite, and smile goals. Implants give you a second chance with a complete, perfect smile.
