I am 77 years old. Can l have dental implants for my upper and lower jaws?

You can go for dental implants at any age. Age is not a factor for dental implants. If you have any health-related issues, just discuss them with your implant dentist.

Hi:Good question.  The main determinant for being able to get implants is the quality and quantity of bone available.  I have seen patinets in their 80s get implants without any problem. It's best to have a consultation with an implant surgeon and evaluate the bone.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Age is not a stipulation for dental implants, so just because you are 77 years old does not mean that you would not qualify for dental implants.  If you are interested in implants you should see your dentist and let them evaluate the amount of bone and the quality of bone in your jaw.  Your medical history and medications can be of concern as well.  Sometimes if you do not have enough bone  or high quality bone for conventional implants then Mini Dental Implants can even be an option for you.  Absolutely talk to your dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon.  Thanks and good luck!
