Dental implant procedures have requirements that must be met. This is part of getting removable snap-in dentures. Here is a detailed description of the conditions:
• missing or severely damaged teeth,
• moderate or no bone,
• a non-smoker,
• no TMJ disease or gum disease, and
• be prepared to avoid solid foods.
Smoking and dental implants, however, don’t mix. If you are a smoker you must be willing to quit, at least during and for a few months after the procedure, while recovery takes place. Cigarettes are a common reason for implant loss.
Smoking and dental implants, however, do not mix. If you are a smoker, you should be ready to quit, at least for the duration and a few months after the process, when recovery takes place. Smoking is the most common cause of the failure of implants.
Patients with TMJ syndrome usually prefer to keep their teeth in at night and have a sturdier attachment. Therefore, permanent solutions may be better for them. The same applies to those who enjoy steaks or other food that is difficult to chew and don’t want to commit to a soft food diet.

And lastly, any solution with dentures and implants requires a healthy mouth. The patient must undergo excellent aftercare, but might also have to be prepared for treatment beforehand. Periodontitis must be healed before implantation takes place. What’s more, if you have a history of gum disease, you may be more prone to dental implant infections.
