Implants can be done around 18 years of age so no problem you can go ahead with them. However your dentist will advise an OPG X-ray and sometimes a cone beam CT to check the bone in that area and choose the right implant for you.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist or a clinic where an implantogist is available
