Many patients wonder
if they have waited too long to enjoy the benefits of implant dentistry. The good news is that age by itself is
not a limiting factor. There are many examples of patients in their 80’s
and 90’s who elect to proceed with dental implant treatment. After treatment, they are very pleased with their
decision.
While age by itself
will not disqualify someone from being a candidate for dental implants, doctors
are careful to assess each patient’s overall health. Patients who have
significant or chronic medical conditions may not be good candidates for dental
implants. Examples include some patients who are
receiving chemotherapy for cancer or patients who have uncontrolled
diabetes. Each case is different, however, so the best thing to do is ask
your doctor if you are a candidate for dental implants.
