Having a great set of cosmetic dentures may work well for you, but if you would prefer not to have to remove and reinsert your teeth every night, then dental implants may be the best option for you.  You can expect to pay about $25,000 to 30,0000 per arch.  Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMD

Here are some of the factors that you need to consider when you want to decide if dental implants are good option to replace missing teeth:-are the roots of the adjacent teeth far enough apart to have room to place an implant-is the width of the bone thick enough as you go from your lip to your pallet-do the adjacent teeth have any gum disease or bone lossIf other factors are good but there is not enough bone then a bone graft may be required.If you are cavity prone, dental implants may be a wonderful option, because a metal implant will never get a cavity.Hope you find this information helpful.Dr Champagne

Hi Dargie,the chances are that you should be able to have screw in teeth (dental implants) at your age.There may be some situations where it's not recommended, for example if you're smoking 40 cigarettes a day, have uncontrolled diabetes or are taking certain medications, but your age is not a reason not to have this treatment. In my experience, this treatment will dramatically improve your life, and make you feel great.I hope this helps!Gurs
