Key takeaway
There is no upper age limit for dental implants. Bone volume, gum health and overall medical health matter far more than age, and many implant patients at Pebble Beach Dental are in their 70s and 80s. A 3D CT scan at a free consultation shows whether implants will work for you.
Health matters more than birthdays
Well-controlled diabetes, blood pressure and heart conditions do not automatically rule out implants. We review your medications and coordinate with your physician when needed.
Why seniors often benefit most
Loose dentures make it hard to eat nutritious foods like fresh vegetables and lean protein. Implant-supported teeth restore chewing ability, which can improve nutrition and enjoyment of meals.
Options at every budget
From a single implant to snap-on dentures to All-on-4®, there is usually an implant solution that fits. We show you every option side by side.
