My daughter turned 16 on 8/28/94. The teeth on both sides of her two front teeth have no adult teeth coming in. Two dental implants were recommended by an oral sergeon. My dentist feels she should wait at least until 18 years of age to have an implant done because the bone is still growing. One tooth is loose. Her dentist said he would bond it to her other tooth to hold on to it as long as we can. I'm confused as to what the right thing to do is. It seems like the medical teams have different opions. I would truly appreciate any advise.

Thanks,

Kathy
