Desperate for dental implants but I don’t think there’s not enough space for them, why has this happened?

Q. Im 21 years old and i have two teeth that have never formed. I wear dentures to fill the two gaps but i am desperate to have implants, however im not sure that I will be suitable for this as when i was 16 i was told i do not have enough space for an implant to be fitted, can this be the case on occassions?,

A. If the gaps between the teeth are too small then implants can be difficult. you need a CT scan to measure the space before proceding

  You can always opt for mini implants.
