\"Two<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s heard at least one of these two things before, \u201cYou\u2019re too young to understand,\u201d or \u201cYou\u2019re too old for that.\u201d To a certain extent, age restrictions are a part of life, and as people mature it can become more and more difficult to qualify for certain treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, dental implants<\/a> don\u2019t fall into that category! Keep reading to find out why there\u2019s no such thing as being \u201ctoo old\u201d to receive the most advanced tooth replacement option available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Jawbone is Fully Developed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike patients who are younger than 18, your jawbone is fully developed \u2013 which means dental implants won\u2019t interfere with its growth. It also <\/em>means you actually have the bone structure necessary to support this unique restoration. Since the crown is anchored to the jawbone with a titanium post, it\u2019s essential for dental implant patients to have a certain amount of jawbone density. Otherwise, their replacements could fall out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone Grafts Can Provide Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s say you don\u2019t have enough jawbone density because years of having a gap-toothed smile have led to bone loss. That still might not stop you from receiving treatment. With a bone graft, your dentist can add mass to your jawbone, creating the firm foundation necessary for dental implants. Basically, don\u2019t count yourself out until you\u2019ve talked with your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Implants Have Many Benefits for Seniors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The benefits dental implants can provide apply to any qualified patient, but are especially impactful for mature seniors. Thanks to their superior stability, dental implants won\u2019t slip and slide out of place when you try to eat or talk, and their incredible durability means you won\u2019t have to restrict your diet. What\u2019s more is that their design actually mimics natural teeth and their dental roots, essentially enabling them to prevent further jawbone loss! You could definitely consider yourself the \u201chip grandparent\u201d with dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until your dentist says otherwise, there\u2019s no reason to assume you can\u2019t receive dental implants because of your mature age. Give them a call and schedule a consultation \u2013 you might be pleasantly surprised by what they say!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
