Factors to Consider for Seniors

  • Overall health: Older adults should consult with their healthcare providers to ensure they are healthy enough for dental implant surgery.
  • Bone density: Sufficient bone density is necessary to support the implant. In some cases, bone grafting may be required to strengthen the jawbone.
  • Oral hygiene: Good oral hygiene practices are crucial for the success of dental implants. Seniors must commit to regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
  • Cost: While dental implants provide long-term benefits, it's essential for seniors to consider the associated costs and whether it aligns with their budget.
