I am 56 years old and have had dentures since I was 22. Am I a candidate for implants?

Because you have worn dentures for so many years, you will have both bone and tissue loss, however, everyone, regardless of their situation is a candidate for dental implants. Without seeing x-rays or CT scans, it is virtually impossible to tell if you would need grafting, however, the, “All on Four,” dental implant procedure makes it possible to place dental implants with minimal bone.



The best way to find out what dental implant procedure is best for you would be to schedule an appointment with a dental implant specialist who can advise you of your best options. Good luck!

Hi.

Yes, if the most patients are candidate for implants, there are now several options for edentulous patients. From all on 4 that is very good treatment until snap on denture that are removable plates. you would just have to take x-rays to see your bone and see what you can do. 





Merry Christmas and good luck!

Yes you are.  Almost all patients are implant candidates.  The type of implants, need for bone grafting and type of restoration possible can be determined by your restoring doctor and Implant surgeon.  Some surgeons have more experience than others so you may need to seek one out that you feel comfortable with.  Your best bet would be to see a Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon in your area for a consultation

After many years of dentures you have lost bone from both your upper and lower jaws.  It would be impossible to know if there is adaquate bone with out X-rays or a ct scan.

Fortunately with the all on four it is often possible to place implants with limited bone.  It is also possible to add bone for implants as well.  Best way to start is get a consultation and see where you are.



Good Luck.
