Generally we wouldn’t do implants on anyone under the age of 18yo. This is because, even though you won’t notice, but your teeth, gums and bone are still growing and changing. You could however, book in for a consultation with an Implantologist to at least plan the next step for you so that you can understand all of your options and what the time frames would be.
