However, this restorative treatment is not for every one of our patients. We urge patients to find out more about implants if they are looking for incredible stability and a fixed solution to tooth replacement. The best way to determine candidacy, of course, is to visit us for an evaluation. In the meantime, we invite you to take the following quiz to find out more about whether implants may be a suitable solution to completing your smile:

Dental Implants True-or-False Quiz

  1. True or False: You will make a good candidate for implants if you are looking for a very fast option for tooth replacement.
  2. True or False: You will need a jaw that is in good health to qualify for implants.
  3. True or False: You are looking for a way to replace your entire tooth, not just the visible portion – if this is the case, you may be a good candidate for implants.

Implant Quiz Answer Key

  1. False. Dental implants require a lengthy treatment process that is worth it as long as you are ready to experience treatment that can take upwards of six months. If you are looking for a way to quickly replace your teeth, you may be better suited to dentures or partials.
  2. True. A dental implant will gain its support from your jawbone like your tooth’s roots once did. If your jaw is unhealthy or has lost volume, you may need bone grafting to improve it or another treatment option to replace your teeth.
  3. True. The dental implant will replace your roots and will support a prosthetic like a dental crown or denture. If you are looking for a solution without the need for comprehensive tooth replacement, you may consider other options like bridges.
