Considerations for Seniors

    While dental implants offer a fantastic solution for seniors with missing teeth, it is important to consider a few factors:

  • Bone Health: Adequate bone quality and quantity are necessary for successful implant placement. Some seniors may require a bone graft to strengthen their jawbone.
  • Overall Health: Seniors with chronic health conditions such as diabetes or heart disease should consult with their healthcare provider and dentist before undergoing dental implant treatment.
  • Cost: Dental implant treatment can be more expensive than traditional dentures or bridges. However, the long-term benefits and improved quality of life often justify the investment.
