We often get asked about dental implants and what age a patient may receive them. On the one hand, when a patient is too young, the jaw bone is still developing, so we will wait until growth has stopped for the replacement option of teeth. When an older patient is seeking dental implant treatment, it has more to do with health factors than age.
Age is not a limiting factor for dental implant treatment at our Bowmanville dental office. If you are healthy enough to have a tooth removed, you most likely are healthy enough for dental implants. We have successfully placed dental implants up to their mid 70-80’s as long as they are healthy.
Certain conditions may complicate or prohibit dental implant treatment. Your consultation visit, which will examine your dental and medical history, can determine this.
