my mom has been without the majority of her teeth for approximately 6-7 years. She has 3 teeth. She hated dentures and has refused to wear them. Is there any chance she could be a candidate for implants at this stage?

Answer: Dental Implant There is absolutely hope for your Mom. The final determination will be made with a CT Scan and full mouth X-rays to look at the quality and the amount of bone available for implants. In my office I have treated patients 15 years after extractions with implants.However, as years go bye the bone loss will accumulate and the chance of implants decreases.hope this helps,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Different types of dental implants. There are wide narrow and mini implants , intended for different sizes and width of bone. This could be the only difference on type of implants , but 95% of the cases there is always a chance of setting them. They can be reahbilitated with a fixed bridge, screwed or Snap On. but your mom will have her smile back again. Hope this helps.
