In general, anyone missing at least one tooth and healthy enough to undergo routine dental treatments, including tooth extraction, is probably able to undergo dental implant treatment. There are some medical conditions that warrant special consideration before placing dental implants. If you already wear dentures but are psychologically un comfortable with them (e.g. you lack confidence due to the appearance or poor fit of you false teeth) or find them physically difficult (e.g. you cannot taste food properly due to the dentures), you should consider implants. You are never too old to get dental implants. |
