🧐“I’m ready for a dental implant. Why do we need to talk about my gums first?”
It is an understandable question, especially when someone has already spent months or years living with a missing tooth. The answer is that an implant needs more than space in the smile. It needs healthy gum tissue and enough strong bone to support it.
