Is age a deterrent to implant treatment?
Age is not a deterrent to implant treatment. Health is the determining factor. Many people seventy and eighty years of age are better surgical candidates than someone who is years younger with physical or systemic complications. There is really no preferred age for a hip replacement or a coronary artery bypass, and the same goes for implant surgery. As long as a person is in good health and is important to someone, including him- or herself, one should strive to improve the quality of one’s life.
