Can I get implants after having wore dentures for several years?

Asked By:julz_b21 in Lexington, KY

I am in the process of getting dentures at the age of 43. I never got any temporary dentures and lost my teeth gradually over a 10 year period. I would absolutely love to have implants, more so to preserve the bone structure than for convenience. if I were to wear these dentures for several years, would it be possible for me to get implants and if so, would there be greater complications than if I had just gotten implants to start with?
