Age

Dental implant placement in teenagers is not usually suitable until facial growth and development is complete around the age of 15 for women, and 18 for men. Older seniors are eligible for implants and have few if any restrictions for treatment.

Pregnancy

It is usually recommended to delay dental implant placement until the baby is born due to the need for x-ray imaging and antibiotics.
