I have had dentures for 14 years, I am 36 years old, can I still be a candidate for implants?

Patient age and length of time after extraction alone are not the determining reasons why a person can or not have implants. The most important factor is the availability of the remaining bone. This can only be determined by a 3 D bone scan which will determine the volume and quantity of bone available for potential implantation.

of course you can. We would have to check your Xrays and see the bone loss you might have. We can also try with Mini Dental Implants, these are a good option as well for people that have bone loss. Mini dental implants are smaller and of course it is accepted more easily by the body. We load a snap on denture over 7 or 8 mini dental implants previously insented in your jawbone and you can have a snap on denture that rests over your gum giving your a steady bite and chew, I believe this could be your best way. Hope this helps.
