An implant-retained overdenture combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of a full denture. It’s a removable dental appliance, but it won’t slip or move around when you eat or speak, making it a popular tooth replacement choice for many of our patients.
And fortunately, there are no age limits on who can get an implant-retained denture. During your consultation, we’ll determine your eligibility based on numerous factors.
Am I Eligible?
To be eligible for an implant-retained denture, you must be at least 18 years old with a fully developed jawbone.
Other factors to consider include the following:
- Bone density — You need sufficient jawbone density to support the dental implants. However, a bone grafting procedure may be an option if you have bone loss.
- Medical conditions — Even though age isn’t a factor, it’s essential that you’re in good overall health and don’t have uncontrolled diabetes. Being healthy can also help you heal faster.
