Factors to Consider When Placing Dental Implants

v13

Dental implants are a popular treatment option for replacing missing teeth, but there are several factors that need to be considered when placing them. The amount of bone available is one of the most important factors, as it determines whether the dental implant can be placed directly or if bone grafting is needed. Other factors to consider include the size and placement of the dental implant, the presence of anatomical defects, and the patient’s ability to care for the implant. It is important to carefully evaluate these factors to ensure the long-term success of the dental implant.
