Is it necessary to have gum treatment before getting implants?

Q. I am in my 50s and even though i take good care of my teeth and don’t drink things like red wine one tooth is on its way out and this has been confirmed by my dentist. she has recommended an implant to me and she said the gums may need some work but cna you advise on whether this treatment is right and any other advice would be helpful.
A. Hi

If you have gum disease, then you would require this treated prior to implant placement. It is very important to have healthy gums as this could affect the prognosis of the implant.
