What’s The Right Age Group For Implants?

One of your first questions when you consider treatments for your smile is whether you’re in the right age group. In many instances, unless we’re distinguishing between children’s treatments and adult treatments, age has very little to do with it! Today, as we discuss dental implants and your smile, you will see that this is the case. Not sure whether implants are for you but you really think they’d be a wonderful choice? Before you throw up obstacles of your very own creation, come on in, so we may talk with you about your best solution.

When It Comes To Kids

When it comes to the kiddos, dental implants are not a given. You may love the thought of an implant and crown for your child for problems like unexpected trauma that leads to the dislodging of a permanent tooth. Then, of course, there is the genetic lack of permanent tooth development called hypodontia. For this reason, an implant also seems like a sound choice. While we agree, we remind you that children are not candidates until they are about 18 or a bit older. Due to the nature of implants, one’s jaw must be done growing. See us about this, so we may help you figure out a plan until it’s time!

When It’s For Adults

There are no age categories within adulthood that makes you a wonderful, best, better, or not-so-great candidate for dental implants. The criteria we use is all about your jaw health (which is the bone in which we place the implants), your overall oral health, and whether the implant is what you want. Learn more when you see us.
