Though dental implant is suitable for an enormous crowd, not everyone is allowed to conduct one. 

      Several factors should be taken into consideration before confirming whether you’re an eligible candidate for dental implant or not. First of all, an X-ray is necessary for knowing your alveolar bone condition like bone height. Guaranteeing the stability of dental implant is the top priority, so it’s imperative to get periodontal disease, if any, treated in advance. Otherwise, it will greatly decrease the longevity of dental implant. To be noted, without the protection from periodontal membrane, alveolar bone will see gradual absorption and the gums will be more susceptible to recession after dental implant. 

      Besides, some systematic diseases like hypertension will make you an ineligible candidate for dental implant as well. The surgery can only be conducted after getting the diseases under control. As for the elderly who have a poorer sclerotin, it should be wary about conducting dental implant.

       Will dental implant impact Magnetic Resonance Imaging? The answer is negative, because the artificial root is made of titanium which is a kind of non-magnetic metal. What may cause impact on MRI is the material of the crown, including metal and metal-free material. Porcelain crown made of materials like zirconium dioxide and aluminium oxide is allowed to conduct a MRI. 

      Here comes the procedures of dental implant:

      Firstly, take an overall checkup to see if your blood pressure and blood sugar remain an normal state. Then take an oral X-ray to see whether there is periodontitis. Dental implant should be delayed if there is periodontitis. It’s necessary to seek treatments like dental cleaning or periodontal scaling first with a purpose to get periodontitis under control. After the alveolar condition returns to healthy state, you can consider undergoing dental implant.

      In the wake of injecting anaesthesia, an artificial root made of titanium will be implanted into the prepared alveolar socket, and then the wound will be stitched subsequently. After the surgery, much attention should be paid to caring the would, rinsing mouth with mouthwash to combat inflammations. Three to six months later, take another checkup. Only when the artificial root has integrated into alveolar bone firmly can you conduct an temporary abutment. As the gum becomes more healthy, the temporary abutment will be changed into a permanent one , and then be covered with a porcelain crown, representing the completion of dental implant.

      There is a close link among every procedure of dental implant surgery, requiring a excellent technique of the dentist. It’s advisable to choose a professional hospital for conducting dental implant.
