Many people wonder if they are suitable candidates for dental implants. At Pixel Dental, we perform a thorough evaluation to determine if implants are the right choice for you.

Ideal Candidates

  • Good Oral Health: Healthy gums and no untreated cavities or infections.
  • Adequate Bone Density: Sufficient bone to support the implant.
  • Non-Smokers: Smoking can hinder healing and implant success.
  • Commitment to Oral Hygiene: Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits.

Who May Need Additional Preparation?

  • Patients with Bone Loss: Bone grafting may be required.
  • Gum Disease: Must be treated before implant placement.
  • Chronic Conditions: Diabetes or autoimmune disorders must be well-controlled.

Our Evaluation Process

Dr. Haroon uses advanced imaging to assess your bone and overall oral health. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored for long-term success.

What If You’re Not Ready?

If you’re not an ideal candidate today, we can often provide pre-implant treatments such as bone grafting or periodontal therapy to prepare you.
