Hello!There is no limit of age when it comes to surgical implants, as long as the area where the implants is needed is in optimal conditions this means that the quality, height and thickness of your bone is good as well as your health in general the study that will help your implantology determine this is a CT scan (tridimensional view) of the area where the implants needs to be placed and even if is not in good conditions make sure you discuss with your dentist about bone grafting.I hope my answer was helpful.Regards
You can surely have dental implants!As you had been wearing dentures for a prolonged duration, there can be some amount of bone loss expected due to being edentulous for years together.Depending upon the availability of the underlying bone, we can plan to place either 6 or 8 straight dental implants or proceed with advanced dental implant protocols like the All-on-4 technique. In this technique, the teeth set of the entire jaw can be replaced by placing two straight dental implants along with two slanting implants.
Please take a CBCT scan to check for the bone ,If you have minimum available bone also ,u shouldn’t be worried because with the new implant techniques like (all on 4 technique) you can have mininum implants placed and achieve desired results With out any bone grafting procedures.Good luck with your treatment!!
Hello and thank you for your question. Technology is very advance now. Implants should be a great option for you, but please schedule a consultation an implantologist to make sure you are a good candidate.All the best to you!
Hello,Implants are almost always a possible treatment option. Age or previous use of dentures is never a contraindication. However because you have dentures for a long time resorption of the bone in your lower jaw is always a possibility. A surgeon would need to take a 3D CBCT x-ray to determine how much bone you have for potential implants.
You would need xrays to determine how much bone you have available for implants. If your bone has resorbed significantly, you may need bone grafting prior to implant placement. It's also possible that implants aren't an option. Consult with a surgeon to see what options you have.
See a dentist that does implants, a periodontist, or an oral surgeon to assess your bone mass and quality. Since you’ve had your teeth taken out at such young age, your bone may have atrophied where there isn’t enough bone for implants at the areas where we usually like to place implants for denture stability. Getting a 3D CBCT mapping work up is highly recommended. Doesn’t matter how long you’ve had dentures or how old you are, as long as you have enough bone, then you’re a great candidate for implants.
After a new crown is placed, whether it’s on natural tooth or a dental implant, it’s natural for her to feel different and so there may be a need for a period of adjustment.At no time, however, should it actually feel uncomfortable. If you’re tongue has still not adjusted to the new implan...
It is difficult to advise without seeing an Xray but generally, if a root canal treatment is not successful the prognosis for the tooth is not great. An apicoectomy may resolve the problem but you may go through this surgical procedure, have a period of healing of several months and the...
No two situations are exactly the same. That being said, typically only one bone graft procedure is necessary if this is a straightforward situation.There are times however, when additional bone graft procedures may be required due to the amount of bone that needs to be replaced and how wel...
Waiting 2 years may be a bit too long, but so long as the implants have healed and the cover screw has stayed on, it’s not an issue. Your implants are buried so they need to be exposed, known as second stage surgery, so restoring them will take much longer t...
Its because of dark implant material and thin gum / bone. thats why now a days zirconia implants are also available for aesthetic consideration. anyways now implant is already placed so good option for u is bone/tissue graft in implant region. as u r conscious for this, so go for tooth c...
Hello Milton, An infection with any surgical procedure is always possible regardless of previous infection. However with proper curettage of the infection site and a successful bone graft an implant usually should not fail. That being said one of the risks of every implant is infection. You can...
