I m 68 yrs old. Which is better loose dentistry or implant dentistry?

Question

Harley Richards, DDS · Answer

Are the majority of your teeth in good condition or poor condition? If they are in good condition, consider getting any fixes done at your general dentist. If they are in poor condition, you probably need dental implants. With our procedure, you sleep under general anesthesia, a board certified surgeon will place titanium implants in your upper and lower jaws to support your new teeth. During this time, our in-house dental lab customizes your teeth to the implants. You will go home that afternoon with a brand new smile. Most patients are even able eat a light meal the same evening.

Hi:Implant supported teeth are always best since they maintain bone integrity much better than no implant or teeth.  Best,Dr. Maddahi

Byron C. Scott, DMD · Answer

In most cases your jawbone continues to atrophy after your teeth have been extracted. Implants not only slow down or stop that process, but also offer a tremendous improvement in your comfort, chewing ability & self esteem. After the implant process is completed, you should experience improved oral health & a renewed confidence & ability to smile & enjoy everyday activities that are impossible when dealing with loose,ill fitting & uncomfortable removable dentures.
