There is a common misconception that dental implants are for old people that have completely let their oral health go. However, adults of all ages and oral health status’ often need dental implants. This treatment is common for patients who have had to have teeth removed because of injury, infection, or decay and even patients who were born without a tooth or two. Typically, the procedure is recommended if a patient, of any age, has one or more teeth missing and their facial structure has completely developed. This treatment can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, and even a full set of teeth.
