There is no absolute age limit for dental implants, although the procedure is typically only appropriate for adults. The main decision factor is whether or not the patient has enough jawbone density to support the implant, which naturally deteriorates with age. A consultation with an implant dentist can help determine if someone is a good candidate for the procedure, regardless of age. The most crucial factor in successful dental implant surgery is the health of the patient’s jawbone. If the jawbone has deteriorated to the point where it can no longer support an implant, the procedure will not be successful.
