Several criteria determine whether a person is a suitable candidate for dental implants. These criteria help ensure the success and longevity of the implant treatment. Here are the main factors considered:

• Sufficient Bone Density: Adequate bone density and volume in the jawbone are essential to support the dental implant. If there is significant bone loss or insufficient bone structure due to factors like periodontal disease, trauma, or long-term tooth loss, bone grafting procedures may be necessary to augment the bone before implant placement.
• Good Oral Health: The patient should have overall good oral health, including healthy gums free from periodontal disease. Any existing dental issues, such as decay or gum disease, should be treated before proceeding with implant surgery.
• General Health and Well-being: The patient’s general health is also a crucial factor. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or significant immune deficiencies may affect healing after surgery and increase the risk of implant failure. A thorough medical history review is necessary to assess overall health status.
