Normally when friends or family say they have dental bridges, Dade City residents are more likely than not are going to be talking to an older adult. Yet even though older generations are individuals who have dental bridges more often, there is really no age limit to adults for them. A dentist will never recommended that a child or toddler gets a dental implant because their teeth are still growing and shifting, which could cause problems to the dental work. Ironically, although a patient can be too young to receive dental implants, technically there is nothing limiting someone from being too old to receive dental implants.
The Youngest Age is Eighteen
Officially, the youngest age that a dentist would feel comfortable installing a dental bridge into a patient would be eighteen, but even then conditions have to be optimal, as there are many problems that can affect dental bridges. Dade City residents who are this young and reserve dental bridges have to have all of their teeth fully grown in, and this is not very common for eighteen year old. It is way more common, and often recommended that people who really need dental bridges get them in their mid twenties, as teeth growth should be finished.
The Average Age is Mid-Forties
The majority of people who need dental bridges are not young adults but rather individuals who have long persisting dental problems. When a young adult needs dental bridges, Dade City young adults might do so because they had a severe accident where their face was injured. But the average person in their mid forties needs a dental bridge because they have had years of wear, tear, and neglect on their teeth. The most common issue that is corrected in this age group would be chipped or cracked teeth that are causing pain and discomfort, especially when eating, drinking, or talking.
