Yes, dental implants can be an acceptable option for people with gum disease; still, the degree and depth of the gum disease must be considered. Individuals with gum disease at any stage almost always qualify for dental implants after completing certain treatments and procedures. Patients with mild to severe gum disease may only need to keep the condition under control to have implants. However, before beginning the operation for implant placement, patients must have their gum condition corrected.
