Is there an age limit for considering a dental implant for a missing tooth? What are the risks?
Children as well as adults can benefit from dental implants. More important factors to consider are the general health of the individual, the composition of the jaw, and overall dental health. A thorough assessment is made, including a complete medical history and x-rays are involved. Maintaining dental implants requires meticulous oral hygiene routines. The risks are similar to those of any other surgery and great care is taken to asses the individual’s readiness for such a procedure.
