There is no age limit for getting implants. The most important thing is to have good oral health, adequate bone in your jaw and stable overall health. Many individuals over the age of 60 have successfully received dental implants and experienced an improved quality of life.

It is possible to be too young for dental implants. Teenagers and children under the age of 18 do not qualify for implants because their jaws and teeth are still undergoing crucial development.

The best way to find out if implants are the right treatment for you is to schedule a consultation with a Walsall implant dentist like Dr Allsopp or Dr Soorae.

We will recommend the best tooth replacement solution that suits your unique needs and circumstances. If implants are not right for you, we will suggest alternative treatments or inform you of steps you can take to prepare your mouth for dental implants.

Dental implants fit in naturally with the rest of your teeth without putting pressure on other parts of your mouth. You may experience some discomfort after the surgical portion of your treatment, but once they have healed, your implants will be so comfortable that you won’t even notice them.

Dentures are plates of removable false teeth that rest directly on the teeth and gums. Implants are individual titanium posts that sit in the bone tissue and support restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures.

As long as you take good care of your dental implants, they have the potential to last a lifetime.

Yes, we strongly urge you to continue maintaining excellent oral hygiene after getting dental implants. Implants may not be real teeth, but you should treat them as such. Keep your implants clean with daily brushing and flossing to prevent gum infections that can compromise the health of your dental implants.

Dental implants themselves are not removable. Once an implant post has fused with your bone, it is there for life. Most restorations (false teeth) are fixed permanently to implants and are not removable. Implant dentures, however, attach to implants with clips which allow you to take them out for easy cleaning.

If you already wear dentures, then you may be an excellent candidate for full-mouth implants. You could choose between getting implants that attach to your denture or getting implants that support a permanent bridge. Schedule a consultation with one of our implant dentists to find out whether you are a candidate.

Dental implants are one of the most predictably successful treatments in dentistry, with a success rate of 96–98%.
