Yes, you can get dental implants even if it has been several years—or even decades—since your teeth were extracted. Many patients choose to get dental implants after years of discomfort with traditional dentures. If your teeth have been missing for some time, we will need to ensure that you have sufficient bone mass in your jaw to support your dental implants; if not, supplementary procedures may be needed. Other than this, there is no reason that waiting years to get dental implants would impact your eligibility for the dental implant restorations.
