You may wonder if you’re going to need dental implants as you age even if you do not have them now. There’s most certainly a commonly held belief that losing your teeth is a normal part of “old age” and that with each passing birthday, you’re closing to missing teeth and a need for prosthetic care. The truth is, you are not destined for missing teeth! Let’s talk about the things you’re trying to figure out, so you can feel calm and confident about enjoying your smile no matter what.
No, It’s Not All About Age
What you may not realize is that there are patients of all ages with dental implants. Replacing missing teeth is not strictly connected with your age. “So, why does it seem like older individuals are the ones who most frequently need replacements for their teeth?” you may wonder. Well, as time passes, if you don’t care for your smile, the consequences will eventually catch up with you and you may finally lose very damaged teeth. If you do care for your teeth, they can remain intact and safe for a lifetime.
