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 so
me 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.
