Dental implants can be a lifelong solution to permanent tooth loss. But if your son or daughter’s jaw is still developing, it might not be time to get implants just yet.
Oral development isn’t complete until puberty ends. For many people, puberty can impact jaw growth through their late teens, meaning their jaw is not at its maximum density. If you’re having doubts about whether your child is ready, a free consultation with Drs. Lau can determine if it’s time for dental implants. If it isn’t time, they will recommend a more appropriate, temporary replacement option.
