There are a lot of accepted ideas about aging and dental health that, though they’re so widely believed, they’re not necessarily true. Unfortunately, when you experience tooth loss and you assume that it’s directly associated with your age, this can cause you to avoid seeing us about dental implants. You may assume you’re too old for care, that your age is going to limit your ability to maintain a full smile in good oral health, and more. Let’s begin prepping you to expect a lovely and complete smile for life by establishing an understanding about one thing: It’s not about your age.

You Think You’re Too Old For Implants

We understand that as you age, you start to wonder if you will still qualify for things. While you may feel that each passing year puts pressure on you as a candidate for a variety of products, services, etc., this is never going to be the case with dental care. If you’re healthy and can receive oral surgery and if your smile is healthy and ready for dental implants (or if you are ready to receive treatments to prep your smile, if necessary), then you’re good to go. The number of years since your birth is not a factor.

You Assume You’re Just Going To Lose More Teeth

You may also assume that the older you become, the weaker and more diseased your smile is likely to become. Again, this is not accurate. Your smile can stay healthy, free of disease, strong, and intact for an entire lifetime. Aside from the stuff nobody can escape (like having a tooth knocked out due to a clumsy moment, during an athletic activity, etc.), you can protect your teeth. This means even if you have already experienced tooth loss and received dental implants, you can protect what remains with optimal care.
