Dental ImplantsYou may have heard great things about dental implants when it comes to treating tooth loss. There are many benefits to be had from dental implant treatment, which you can receive at Sutton Implant Clinic in Sutton Coldfield. However, there are some things you need to know before deciding if you would like to go ahead with dental implant treatment.

Am I too old for dental implants?

There is no age limit for dental implant treatment. Age is not what is used to assess suitability for dental implants. Rather, it is your general and dental health that is considered.

Our golden years should be spent enjoying our retirement. So there’s no reason you need to lose your ability to smile just because you’re getting older. A gappy smile does not have to be an expected rite of passage when growing older. You can plug those gaps effectively with dental implants.

What causes tooth loss and can dental implants always help?

There are a lot of reasons people lose their teeth. Sometimes it’s a matter of genes. Cancer and diabetes can affect our oral health. Fear of visiting a dental practice because of bad experiences as a child, or even just fear of the unknown can keep some people away from the dentist until it’s too late to save the teeth. And yes, sometimes it can be down to that fact some people just haven’t done a very good job brushing and flossing.

Whatever the cause of your tooth loss, dental implants can be used to repair the damage. As with any other tooth replacement option, dental implants require care and maintenance. If you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants and you’re willing and able to take care of your oral health, then dental implants may be the solution you've been looking for.

Weighing up your options

It’s important to discuss the benefits and risks of dental implants with a dentist. The biggest enemy of fear is information. Sometimes you need to just take a deep breath and go for it – but go informed. Your dentist will be there to help you figure out if dental implants are right for you so you can go forth informed.
