Answers:
Implants are not considered until your jaw has full matured. The fact that you had a cyst removed might affect the treatment....depends on the amount of bone support, healing of the area, etc. Make an appointment with a dentist for a consultation and xrays to see if you are a suitable candidate for an implant.Health Question & Answer
