In order to be a suitable candidate for a dental implant, you must be in good oral and general health. You will need to have sufficient jawbone density and volume to support your implant which will enable it to absorb the extreme biting and chewing forces placed on teeth when eating.

Although your implant is made from titanium and your artificial restorative teeth from high grade tooth coloured material, your gums and surrounding natural teeth are still susceptible to gum disease. Therefore it is important to maintain regular cleaning and checkup appointments with the Bright Star Dental Centre team of hygienists.
