Yes, dental implants are a safe and well-established option for many seniors.
Safety depends less on age and more on overall health, bone condition, and medical history. Many older adults successfully receive dental implants and enjoy the added stability, comfort, and confidence they provide. In some cases, mini dental implants may be recommended because they’re less invasive and can be a good option for patients with lower bone density.
That said, certain medical conditions or medications can affect whether implants are the right choice. It’s important to share your full health history with your dentist so they can evaluate everything carefully and recommend the safest option for you.
Your dentist’s role is to make sure any treatment is appropriate, comfortable, and tailored to your needs—so you can feel confident moving forward with care that supports your health and quality of life.

Patients must be 18 years or older to receive treatment.
That’s because dentures and dental implants are designed for mouths where growth has finished. In children and teens, the jaw and facial structure are still developing, and placing long-term tooth replacement too early can lead to complications or the need for repeat treatment later on.
There are also important consent and treatment-planning considerations when it comes to complex dental care. Limiting treatment to adults helps ensure decisions are made with full understanding, long-term stability, and the best possible outcome in mind.
If a younger family member is experiencing tooth loss or dental pain, a general dentist or pediatric dental specialist is usually the best place to start. Once growth is complete, denture or implant solutions can be explored safely and effectively.
Yes. Dental implants can be a great option for older adults in many situations.
Age alone doesn’t determine whether implants are right for you. What matters most is your overall health and bone condition. If you’re in good general health and have sufficient bone to support implants, they can provide a secure, comfortable way to replace missing teeth and improve everyday activities like eating and speaking.
For those with lower bone density, there are still options. Mini dental implants may be suitable in some cases because they’re smaller and require less bone for support. In other situations, a bone graft may be recommended to help strengthen the jaw before implant placement.
Your dentist will take the time to evaluate your health, review imaging, and talk through all available options. The goal is always the same—help you choose a solution that feels comfortable, safe, and supportive of your quality of life, at any age.
For many seniors, yes—dental implants can absolutely be worth it.
Implants offer a level of stability and function that traditional dentures often can’t. Because they’re anchored in the jaw, implants can help support facial structure, reduce the shifting and slipping that comes with removable dentures, and make eating and speaking feel more natural. For many older adults, that added security can be life-changing.
Implant-supported solutions can also help slow bone loss in the jaw, which is common after tooth loss and can affect both comfort and appearance over time. That means implants don’t just replace teeth—they help protect long-term oral health, too.
Whether implants are the right investment depends on overall health, bone condition, lifestyle, and budget. Your dentist will review all of this with you and help you weigh the benefits so you can decide what feels right for your goals and quality of life.
If you’re in pain or dealing with a dental issue that can’t wait, you’re not alone—and help is often available sooner than you think. You can reach us at 1-800-DENTURE, but if it's truly urgent, you may need to call 9-1-1.
Many offices are able to accommodate same-day emergency appointments, especially for issues like severe tooth pain, infections, or the need for an emergency extraction. Your dentist will review your health history and any medications you’re taking to make sure treatment can be provided safely and comfortably.
Emergencies don’t always involve pain. If your denture is lost, cracked, or broken unexpectedly, same-day denture service can be a big relief. Because offices have on-site labs, emergency repairs or replacements can often be handled the same day, helping you avoid going without teeth longer than necessary.
The fastest way to find out what’s possible is to contact a nearby office directly. Booking an appointment online or calling your local office can help you get clear answers quickly and start feeling better sooner.
