Are full mouth dental implants for seniors?

Dental implants are available for ages 18 to 80+ and are ideal for seniors.

You just need healthy gums and bone before you can be considered. Any issues discovered during the consultation can be treated in advance. Bone loss can be remedied with a bone graft, sinus lift or by using pterygoid or zygomatic implants that bypass the affected area. This can increase costs and treatment timescales.

If you have more healthy teeth than are damaged or missing your dentist may recommend an alternative treatment such as a bridge.
