Told You're Not Suitable for Dental Implants? What a Second Opinion Can Offer

Being told you're not a candidate for dental implants can feel like a dead end, especially if you weren't given much explanation as to why. It's not always the final word.

Why might someone be told they're not suitable?

Suitability for implants depends on a range of factors, including gum health, bone levels, and general history. Every case is different, and a recommendation made in one assessment reflects that particular assessment at that particular time.

What does a second opinion consultation involve?

A second opinion starts with its own clinical assessment, looking again at gum health, bone structure and relevant history, so you can understand your situation clearly and hear which options may or may not be available to you.

What if implants still aren't an option?

Not every tooth can be saved, and not all patients are suitable for all treatments. Where implants aren't suitable, a consultation can still clarify what alternatives exist for your situation.

What's the next step?

Suitability is determined following a clinical assessment. Book a consultation for an assessment and a clear discussion of your options: perioimplantharmony.com.au/new-patients/
