What will the effects on my jawbone be over time if i get full dental implants at age 22? what problems would i have to deal with throughout my life?

Less natural: Your only 22 years old & your considering full dental implants? Are most of your teeth rotted to the core and/or do you have severe periodontal disease? It is much better to keep & maintain your own natural teeth. Dental implants are fantastic as a second choice only. Please consult both a Periodontist & a Prosthodontist to discuss all your dental options & more complete answer to your question

Dental Issues: The same issues that caused your current dental problems can also affect your implants. Bacteria and the acids and toxins they release can cause the bone around the implants to soften resulting in implant failure. Meticulous oral hygiene is necessary, as well as frequent dental cleanings. No smoking either.

Permanent: Permanent solutions in Dentistry have finite life spans. For that reason Dentist's tend to do the simplest treatment as first choice, saving the more complex solutions as last solutions. Please discuss your problems with Prosthodontist, a restorative specialist. He/she may want you to seek consultation with specialists in other dental disciplines.

See Prosthodontist: See the dental specialist who is specifically trained in all aspects of dental implants -- the Prosthodontist. So much depends upon your bite, bone location and amount and density, oral habits (clenching/grinding), medical conditions, personal habits (esp. smoking), among others. See the specialist for examination, CBCT, and evaluation and recommendations. Know ALL your options.
