A tooth has not fully erupted – can I get an implant?

Q. I am twenty and only now one of my baby teeth fell out. Underneath is the adult tooth which has shown no signs of coming through after a year. Would I be okay to go with implants or what can be done?
A. you need a consultation as the tooth may be ankylosed (stuck) or it may be able to be pulled into place by braces

otherwise if it is stuck then it will need to be removed and probably grafted before placing an implant
