Dental implants are one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. However, while implants are suitable for most patients, certain medical, anatomical, or lifestyle factors may affect eligibility. At Baltık Dent, we evaluate each case individually to ensure the success and safety of implant treatment.

Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants:

  • Adults with fully developed jawbones

  • Patients with one or more missing teeth

  • Individuals with good oral hygiene and healthy gums

  • Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking during healing

  • Patients in good general health (controlled chronic conditions are acceptable)

Conditions That May Require Special Attention:

  • Insufficient Bone Density: Bone grafting may be needed

  • Uncontrolled Diabetes: Increases risk of infection and delayed healing

  • Smoking: Can impair osseointegration and increase failure risk

  • Active Gum Disease: Must be treated before implant placement

  • Certain Medications (e.g., bisphosphonates or chemotherapy): Require consultation with your physician

Can Older Adults Get Implants?

Yes! Age is not a limiting factor. As long as the jawbone is healthy, even patients over 70 or 80 can benefit from implants.

What If I’m Not a Candidate Right Now?

At Baltık Dent, we offer supportive procedures like bone grafting, sinus lifting, and periodontal treatments to help patients become suitable candidates for implants.

Our goal is to make implant treatment safe, predictable, and accessible for as many people as possible.
