Common Questions About Eligibility
Can I get dental implants if I smoke?
Yes, but smoking reduces implant success rates by 5-10%. Most clinics recommend quitting at least 2 weeks before surgery and 8 weeks after. Some clinics won't treat heavy smokers. Social smokers can usually proceed with extra precautions.
Am I too old for dental implants?
There is no upper age limit for dental implants. Patients in their 70s and 80s routinely receive implants. The key factors are bone density, overall health, and healing ability — not age itself.
Can I get implants with bone loss?
Yes. Bone loss is very common and treatable with a bone graft. This costs £200-450 abroad (vs £800-1,500 in the UK) and adds 4-6 months of healing. Success rates for bone grafting are above 95%.
Do I need to treat gum disease before implants?
Yes. Active gum disease must be treated first. Deep cleaning is the first step, costing £100-200 abroad. Once gums are healthy (2-4 weeks), implant treatment can proceed.
What medical conditions affect eligibility?
Uncontrolled diabetes, bisphosphonate medications, blood thinners, and heart conditions can affect eligibility. Controlled diabetes and stable heart conditions usually don't prevent treatment — your clinic will coordinate with your GP.
