Im on my second bridges and not happy can i go for implants?

Q. Hi doctor, I lost one of my top front teeth 15 years ago and at the moment i’m on my second bridge. i’m never been happy with the bridges but is it too late now to have an implant? Has the gum receaded too much now? Thanks

A. The gum will shrink back over time, but the only way to tell is an assessment and an x-ray or a CT scan of the jaws.
