Although
children can’t get dental implants because their bones will continue
to grow, there are some exceptional
cases.

Who Can Get Dental Implants?

In the dental industry,
anyone who still has all their baby teeth in is considered to be a child.
Permanent teeth start coming in around 6 or 7 and can be as late as
14.

Some children are born
without teeth, so it is possible to install dentures in them, primarily just
so that their permanent teeth grow.

There
is a scarce chance that a child may need to get implants installed, in which
case oral surgeons have to work with orthodontists to perform this procedure
and successfully install dental implants.

Although
only applicable in sporadic, exceptional cases like the one discussed
earlier, it is almost impossible and discouraged for children to get dental
implants.
