Is There an Age Limit for Implant Treatment? (Q&A by Seokplant Dental Hospital)

Is there an age limit for implants?

Hello, this is Seokplant Dental Hospital.

There are many people who ask whether implant treatment is possible

when they are older or younger.

Implant type

Because implants are a treatment that places an artificial tooth into the jawbone,

surgery is possible after age 17,

when jawbone growth is completely finished.

However, patients with systemic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or kidney failure

should be careful.

For older patients, health age is more important than physical age.

According to reports, surgery is often successful even in elderly patients over 80,

so it cannot be said that surgery is impossible simply because of advanced age.

What matters more is checking overall health before surgery

and preparing in advance for any complications that may arise.

Also, in the case of younger patients,

if facial jawbone growth is still in progress,

it is better to wait a little longer before the procedure

for the shape of the final prosthesis

and for improved esthetics.

Rather than age, it is advisable to predict each person's bone growth age

and perform the procedure accurately according to the individual.

Since opening in 2007,

as of July 2022,

the cumulative number of implant placements has reached 340,000.

If the 340,000 implants placed at Seokplant are stacked in height,

it would be taller than Mount Baekdu,

which shows that

we have extensive experience in implants.
