Who Can Get Dental Implants?
Most people in good health who want to replace missing teeth and have enough bone in the area of the missing tooth are candidates for dental implants. The youngest age a person should get implants is not known. Are you a good candidate? Moreover, you must have enough bone for the fixtures to hold. Otherwise, you may be headed down an expensive detour: thousands of dollars (and an extra nine months) for bone grafts. Finally, since your gums won’t cling to artificial teeth as tightly as to normal teeth, some dentists recommend additional surgery to make your gum line look more natural.
