Do I Qualify for Dental Implants?

Manhattan, New York

Most people will find they are good candidates for dental implants. Dr. Iott is one of the very experienced and highly-trained cosmetic dentists in the Manhattan, NY area, and can give you good advice on your candidacy.

Age, health, and the condition of the jawbone are factors to be considered, but with modern advances, these rarely affect the ability to go forward with the surgery. The good news is that, once your implants have been completed, you can look forward to many years of comfort and good oral health, as clinical studies conducted over 30 years show implants have a success rate of 80-90%.

Three types of implants

Depending on the size, shape, and density of your jawbone, dental implants can be:

• Tiny titanium posts, placed into the jawbone in place of the missing tooth root;


• Flat plates, placed vertically in the jawbone, when the jawbone is too short or too narrow to hold the posts; or


• A custom-made plate, for when the bone has deteriorated too much for the first two types. This type is not placed inside the bone, but on top of it, beneath the gums.
