No, you can’t be too old for dental implants, but you can be too young for dental implants. We recommend that patients wait until their jawbone is fully developed to avoid complications. Dental implants are the preferred method for tooth replacement because they can last a lifetime.
Unlike other restoration procedures, dental implants actually increase your bone density, thereby preventing deterioration. You won’t have slippage or difficulty speaking like with traditional dentures and you’ll quickly become accustomed to their natural look and feel.
We have several dental implant solutions to fit your needs. If you’re interested in discussing which treatment option would be best for you, contact our St. Louis office to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists.
