Dental Implants After Extractions | Time Doesn't Limit You

If you have had teeth extracted 2, 5, 10 or any number of years ago, and have not replaced them since, you may still be a good candidate for dental implants. In the end, it comes down to a question of bone density.

The Impact of Missing Teeth

When you are missing a tooth – by way of extraction or otherwise – that tooth root is no longer stimulating the bone beneath your gums. In the absence of a tooth root, the bone will eventually begin to shrink. If this happens and you lose substantial bone mass in the area, it may affect your implant candidacy. This is because implants need healthy bone in order to be placed; however, even if the bone tissue has shrunk, a bone graft may be an option to restore it.
