Many people often inquire about what age group dental implants are designed for. At By Design Dental, we understand the loss of a permanent tooth isn’t resigned to just the elderly. Dental implants can provide smile restoration for patients of nearly all age groups. In today’s blog, your King of Prussia implant dentists discuss the restorative capabilities of dental implants for different age groups.
Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Dental implants provide an array of benefits. Implants are natural looking, durable, and can help prevent the loss of bone tissue that typically accompanies missing teeth. Whether you have a single missing tooth or require a full set of All-on-4 implant-secured teeth, the innovative Nobel Biocare implants we use at By Design Dental can return your smile to optimal health and function.
A Solution for Patients of Nearly Every Age
As we grow older, the risk of tooth loss increases. Dental health issues, such as gum disease and tooth decay, elevate once a patient reaches their 30’s. While many implants are placed for qualifying patients in their 70’s and 80’s, By Design Dental often places implants for patients in their 40’s and 50’s. Furthermore, sports injuries and trauma may cause tooth loss for even younger patients. In the end, as long as a person has a fully developed jawbone and teeth (usually in the late teen years), age usually isn’t the qualifying factor for dental implant placement. However, patients need to be free of chronic medical complications, such as diabetes and gum disease, and have adequate jawbone tissue. If you have one or more missing teeth, talk to the experts at By Design Dental about our implant options.
