“I Felt Lost And Needed A Solution Fast!”

Virtually Every Patient Is a Candidate for Dental Implants

At Hutt Dental Implant Centre, we believe everyone deserves a complete set of strong, functional teeth and a smile they can feel proud to share. That’s why we’ve invested in the technology and advanced training to provide advanced surgical options beyond what most dental clinics can offer. The whole implant process from start to finish

Our expanded surgical options mean virtually all patients with missing teeth are dental implant candidates at our Lower Hutt, NZ practice. However, people in good physical health generally have the best outcomes. The healing process is the key to lasting success from your implant surgery, so your medical history, medications, and systemic health concerns may factor into whether dental implants are right for you.

Factors Determining Your Candidacy

Determining your dental implant candidacy requires a complete evaluation by our expert team. Some key factors we look for in good dental implant candidates include:

Healthy gums are essential for successful dental implants. Periodontal disease’s bacteria and inflammation can compromise healing and lead to implant failure.

However, gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults, so many people who need dental implants have gum disease. In these cases, we may recommend gum disease treatments to minimise bacteria and inflammation before we perform your implant surgery.

Ideal dental implant candidates have plenty of healthy bone to support implant posts. If you need full mouth dental implants, we’ll need to check your bone volume at specific locations to stabilise your prosthesis.

Even if you’ve been turned away from dental implants due to bone loss, the Hutt Dental Implant Centre team has the expertise to use alternative surgical options. That means even people with severe bone loss may enjoy the benefits of dental implants.

Certain medical conditions can compromise your body’s ability to heal. Others may make the surgery process too risky. We’ll perform a detailed review of your medical history and medication list to ensure nothing will interfere with the long-term success of your dental implants.

Good dental implant candidates do not smoke, preventing your implants from healing properly and leading to implant failure.

We’re medical professionals first and foremost, so your overall health is always our top priority. To be a candidate for dental implants, you need to be in good enough health to tolerate the surgery process and recovery. Issues like high blood pressure and diabetes need to be well controlled before we rebuild your smile.
