Can Children Get Dental Implant?

Picture
Child’s teeth are often difficult to care. Struggling with your little one for maintaining their routine dental care is just an exhausting job. Similarly, most kids tend to have accidents which may cause some sort of injury while growing up. These injuries usually range from a scraped knee, broken bone to cracked teeth. And also it’s your responsibility to bring them back without any scar or chipped tooth. What can be done, if your child falls and loses his/her tooth?

Having a gap in the mouth may cause discomfort to your child in many ways. They may not feel confident enough to smile or they may have trouble in chewing food. Teeth implants Sydney are a quite popular and an ideal solution for tooth replacement which will look and act like natural teeth and so they easily fill in the gaps.

Qualification for Dental Implants
You may wonder whether your child could also benefit from a dental implant, if he or she has a missing tooth.
However, dental implants are the standard way to replace missing tooth in adults, they are the go-to option for children. This is because dental implants can be placed to the patients whose jaw has finished growing. If a teeth implant is placed in a young patient, it may impede jaw growth and stop other teeth from coming in naturally. The minimum ages of dental implants are…
  • As a minimum of 15 years old for girls.
  • As a minimum of 17 years old for boys.
The bone growth in girls usually completes before the bone growth in boys, and so the recommended age differs from each gender. At these ages, the jaw has probably finished growing or it has at least reached the points where dental implants cannot affect the future growth.

Alternatives to Dental Implants

Most of the teens do not want to spend their life with a missing tooth. Instead of being left with a gap in their mouth, they can pursue alternatives till their jaw bone has finished growth. Here are some of the alternative options...

Removable Partial Denture          
This removable denture has one or more artificial teeth attached as you needed. Wearing partial dentures allows you to hide the fact that your child has a missing tooth.

Bridge
This includes two options as tooth-supported fixed bridge or a resin-bonded bridge. A fixed bridge requires the teeth adjacent to the gap to be ground down so that a crown can be attached to support the bridge. A resin-bonded bridge doesn’t involve this prep work so healthy, adjacent teeth aren’t damaged. This option is better than partial dentures.

Braces
If your child’s tooth is knocked out, you can confidently move forward with braces. An artificial tooth will be attached to an orthodontic wire to fill the gap left by the avulsed tooth while the braces correct crooked teeth and other bite problems.

Space Maintainers
If your child is knocked out in any occasion, there is nothing to worry because they are just a baby tooth. Permanent teeth will grow in the same place stronger than before, but until this happens and to ensure that everything remains properly aligned, you can pursue a space maintainer. Removable and fixed space maintainers are available for replacing the missing tooth; you can select the one depending on your child’s situation.

Thus, children cannot undergo tooth implants in Sydney until their jawbone get complete growth and these are the alternative options for the dental implants in children.

It caught my attention when you said that a dental implant on younger candidates could implement the growth of the rest of the teeth. My son is 15, and he recently had a motorcycle accident that chipped pone of his tooth, and we were thinking about a dental implant as a solution. We will consult it with a cosmetic dentist in the area and see if it will be possible for him to get a dental implant.
