Who is a Candidate?
In general, anyone missing at least one tooth could probably have dental implants. There are some medical conditions that warrant special consideration before placing dental implants that the Doctor will go over with you at your consultation visit. If you already wear dentures but are psychologically uncomfortable with them (e.g. You lack confidence due to the appearance or poor fit of your false teeth) or find them physically diffcult (e.g. You cannot taste food properly due to the dentures), you should consider implants. You are never too old to get dental implants.
You should keep in mind that dental implants may not be covered by your dental insurance, although that is currently changing.
