Is It Too Late For A Complete Smile?

What you know is that you have been missing teeth for a long time. What you don’t know is whether it’s too late for you or if there is still hope for replacing your missing teeth with dental implants. What we know is that if you haven’t asked our Conroe, TX team about your smile just yet, it may be out of embarrassment or because you’re very worried we will tell you that it’s just been too long! Good news: Time really isn’t a huge factor when it comes to addressing tooth loss in the grand scheme of things. Might it make it more challenging if it’s been a while? Sure … but hope is on the horizon!

It’s Never Too Late

As a general statement, our team would like to remind you that when it comes to restoring your smile, even if that should include replacing missing teeth, it’s never too late. There is always something we can do to help you, some care we can provide or suggest, etc. As for dental implants in particular, you may be shocked to learn that though you assume you’ve waited far too long, there are certainly many solutions that are on your side!

We Can Fix Things Time Has Altered

If you’ve ignored your tooth loss for quite a while, you know that it means certain things may have changed. You might have teeth that have moved from their original positions. This is something that can be addressed. You may not have the strong jaw tissue you once had, as deterioration may have occurred. If so, there’s bone grafting. However, it’s also possible that your jaw is perfectly healthy! You will never know until you visit our team to find out how your smile is and what it might take to be ready for dental implants. The answer to that question could very well be that you’re actually already ready today.

You’re Not Too Old

We often meet with patients who ask if it’s too late for implants but they then follow it up with, “Am I too old?” Age isn’t a factor here. Whether you have healthy oral tissues that can support the dental implants is all we need to know. Again, remember that we can offer all of the support you need to become a candidate.
