Are Dental Implants in Tampa Safe for Kids? Know Your Options

dental implants

If your kid loses a tooth or several teeth, what’s the best option to repair the damage? First, it’s advisable to preserve an avulsed tooth (knocked-out tooth) in a saline solution that’s compatible with the human body. Get to our office immediately to increase the odds of successful treatment. But are dental implants right for kids in Tampa? Consider the following.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants in Tampa are artificial tooth roots designed to offer a permanent base for teeth replacement. Implants are suitable for people with missing teeth, chronic dental issues or failing teeth. Since they fit, function and feel like natural teeth, dental implants are gaining in popularity. But are they safe for your kid? And if not, what are your options?

Qualifications for Implants

Although dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth in adults, they typically are not great for kids. This is because they are suitable for patients with jaws that have completed the growth stage.

If a dental implant is put in a kid, it may impede jaw growth and prevent other teeth from growing naturally. Implants are placed directly into the bone and don’t have a functioning periodontal ligament, something that limits teeth movement.

Therefore, the standard recommended age limit for dental implants in Tampa are 17 years and above for boys and 15 years and above for girls. By these ages, the jaws have finished growing or have grown to a point where implants cannot adversely affect future growth and development. However, with that being said, it all depends on the unique situation, as there’s no one-size-fits-all age for dental implants.

Getting Started with Treatment

If you are considering implants in Tampa, consult the staff at the office of Larry Saylor, DMD and learn more about your options. Contact us today to book an appointment in Brandon.
