Can seniors get porcelain dental implants?

My father is 67 years old. I want to know if seniors can get porcelain dental implants?

Yes
Absolutely! When dental implants were first developed, they were used frequently to stabilize dentures and replace missing teeth in middle aged and elderly patients. They are still used in this manner today.
There is no such thing as porcelain dental implants. Implants are either made from Titanium or Zirconia
Good Morning,

They absolutely can. Age is not a contraindication to getting dental implants. If your father is in good health, he definitely can get one. Schedule a consultation with your local dentist to have him evaluated.

67 is absolutely not too old to have a dental implant placed. The implant (part that goes into the jawbone) is titanium. The abutment and crown (tooth part that you see) can be made of various tooth colored ceramics.
Yes, of course
