An accident that results in the loss of a tooth can happen at any age, especially in childhood. While the loss of a baby tooth is relatively benign, the accident becomes much more unfortunate when it involves an adult tooth. In this case, a few solutions are available, including dental implants.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, dental implant placement is not a suitable option for individuals of all ages: the steady growth of the jawbone during youth makes this procedure contraindicated in patients who are still at puberty.<\/p>\n

Jaw growth and tooth displacement: Dental implants are not recommended at any age<\/h2>\n

The main reason why dental implants<\/a> are not recommended during youth is simple: the entire body is constantly growing, including the bones in the face and jaw. As the jawbone grows, the teeth move with the growing bone.<\/p>\n

The problem is that the dental implant lacks this ability to move: once placed, it will remain immobile for its entire lifespan<\/a>. This immobility prevents the implant from adapting to the position of adjacent teeth, which can eventually cause a host of functional and aesthetic complications. For this reason, the dental implant is not a viable solution until the child is fully grown.<\/p>\n

However, depending on the nature of the problem, another type of treatment is potentially available to replace a missing tooth<\/a>. Consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon<\/a> to determine the best course of action for your child’s condition.<\/p>\n

At what age can a dental implant be considered?<\/h2>\n

There is no absolute answer to this question: the age at which the jaw stops growing varies from one individual to another. On the other hand, an approximate average can be established from 18 years of age.<\/p>\n

The right age for dental implant placement is essential to the success of the treatment: contact us to find out for sure!<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, the age of maturity to receive a dental implant is absolutely critical to the long-term success of dental implant placement.<\/p>\n

If your teenager has just lost a tooth, for whatever reason, please contact us<\/a>: we can make an appointment to determine whether a dental implant is feasible in their situation, or whether a different procedure is required. In all cases, we will make sure to restore their perfect smile as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
