Can You Get Dental Implants If You Have Gum Disease?

Gum disease is a common concern for patients considering implants. At Regent Dental in Ilkley, Dr Nadeem helps you understand your options and what’s needed for successful treatment.

• Gum disease (periodontitis) affects the bone and tissue that support your teeth and implants

• Active gum disease increases the risk of implant failure

• If gum disease is well controlled and your mouth is healthy, implants may be possible

• Treatment for gum disease must come first—this may include deep cleaning, improved home care, or specialist referral

• In some cases, bone grafting may be needed if bone loss has occurred

• Full assessment and 3D scans to check bone and gum health

• Personalised treatment plan to address any issues before implant placement

• Ongoing support to keep your mouth healthy after implants
