You may be wondering if you are a candidate for dental implants.  Generally speaking, if you have lost any teeth, you are a candidate.  You need to be in good health and there are some conditions and diseases that could make dental implants not a good choice.  An example would be uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, radiation to the jaw, smoking, alcoholism, or uncontrolled gum disease.  Let your dentist know all your medical history and current medical status upfront. All on 4 Dental Implants Paradise Valley AZ

So why is the bone lost when the teeth are lost?  Any bone in the human body needs stimulation to maintain its form and density.  The more teeth that are lost, the more function is lost.  This can lead to some serious aesthetic and function problems, especially if a person has lost all their teeth.  And sadly, it doesn’t stop there.  There are several layers of bone, and once one layer is gone, the others quickly dissolve as well. #martindental
