What is Best Option for Denture Replacement W/ Receading Gums for 84 y/o Male??

Implants aredefinitely an good investment based on age.  Consider the fact that this individual has a poor quality of life an can easily live sevreal more years.  If he cannot wear dentures not only does his quality of life diminsh , so does his longevity based on the fact that he will becoe malnourished.  Usually the placemnt of 2 dental implants to stabilie a lower denture is all it takes.  This is relatively low caost for several years of good quality of life.  The other option are mini implants which are much less costly to retain a lower denture.  These do not have the longevity of regular dental implants, but they can be very successful for a few years if placed correctly.

The simplest treatment option is to place two dental implants for support of an overdenture. This makes a dramatic difference in a person's life and their ability to eat well. Even in patients, with significant bone loss, implants are possible. I do not recommend mini-implants as they fail often. Conventional implants are the best choice.

The only possible way to stabilize a denture like this would be to place two dental implants that the denture would snap into.  The quality of life, eating, etc would improve greatly.  Unfortunately it does not meet your low cost requirement.  Based on his age implants are still a great investment
