Dental implant treatment is not simply a matter of placing a titanium post where a tooth is missing. A successful plan considers the health of the gums and jawbone, the bite, nearby teeth, medical history, the final restoration, and the care needed afterward. Starting with a complete evaluation helps patients understand whether an implant is appropriate and whether another option may better protect their oral health.
