Implants placed
We routinely place dental implants in patients in their 70s and 80s — age itself is not a barrier. At 5D Smiles in Downey, CA, pricing is all-inclusive: single implants from $3,500, full-arch All-on-6 from $20,000 per arch, with 0% APR financing and a lifetime warranty on the zirconia crown. Placed personally by UCLA-trained Dr. Henry Qiu using the Vampire Implants™ Protocol.
Age is no barrier
You're not too old. The real question is bone and health.
We routinely place implants in patients in their 70s and 80s. In well-controlled studies, the 5-year survival of implants in patients over 80 is essentially the same as in patients in their 50s. What decides candidacy is bone volume and controlled medical conditions — not the number on your driver's license. Dr. Qiu reviews both at your $95 consultation, with a 3D CBCT scan and exact pricing in writing.
Most older patients land on one of a few paths: a single tooth implant from $3,500, several teeth when a few are missing, full-arch All-on-6 from $20,000 to replace a full denture, or implant-supported overdentures that snap in securely. Dr. Qiu maps the right one for you at the consult.
Why faster healing matters more after 70
Healing slows with age, and recovery is harder when you're also managing heart conditions, diabetes, or thinner bone. That is exactly why Dr. Qiu uses the Vampire Implants™ Protocol on every placement — your own platelet-rich plasma, concentrated at the surgical site, reduces swelling and speeds soft-tissue closure. For an older patient, that means less time uncomfortable and a faster return to normal.
Most implant failures are because of poor healing.
I built the Vampire Implants™ Protocol by combining Dr. Ogawa's UCLA UV-activation research with platelet-rich plasma into one protocol. That's why diabetics, smokers, and elderly patients heal like everyone else here.

In every Vampire Implants™ case
The biology your implants deserve.
| Industry standard | Vampire Implants™ | |
|---|---|---|
| Patient's own PRP applied at placement | Not standard | |
| UV-activated titanium surface | Not standard | |
| CBCT 3D guidance during surgery | Pre-op only | |
| Biology-safe drilling speed (below 47°C bone-death threshold) | Faster pace, thermal risk | |
| 10-year warranty on the biology of the implant* | Crown only |
*10-year coverage requires twice-yearly cleanings at 5D Smiles so we can monitor and prevent peri-implantitis. Patients who get cleanings elsewhere are covered by a 3-year warranty on the same biological failure modes.

Medical coordination
We treat the whole patient, not just the jaw.
On blood thinners, bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Boniva), or managing a heart condition? That's routine for us. Dr. Qiu coordinates directly with your physician or cardiologist on medication timing before surgery, and IV sedation is monitored throughout.
Bring two things to your consultation: your current medication list and your insurance or Medicare card. That lets us plan safely around your health and tell you exactly what's covered — all in one visit.
What the research says about age
“I've placed implants in patients in their late eighties who heal beautifully, and turned away fifty-year-olds whose diabetes wasn't controlled. Age is a number. Bone, blood sugar, and the medications you're on are what actually decide candidacy — and all three are things we plan around.”
The evidence backs this up. The American Dental Association cites a 90–95% implant success rate over 10 years when placement protocols are followed. Multiple geriatric implant studies on PubMed report that implant survival in healthy patients over 80 is statistically comparable to patients in their fifties — the deciding factor is medical control, not chronological age.

Frequently asked
Dental implants for seniors: common questions
- No. We routinely place implants in patients in their 70s and 80s. Age itself is not a contraindication — bone density and controlled medical health are what matter. In well-controlled studies, implant survival in patients over 80 is essentially the same as in patients in their 50s.
