Should my mom have dental implants?

she is only 50 yrs ancient. she has dentures cuz her ancient dentist pulled her teeth when she was young. should she do it?

Answer by kjw
It may be a excellent option. She should see a dentist about it (if at all possible one who does full-mouth reconstruction cases). Also depends on how much money she has available to her as a full “fixed” (permanently placed) runs around $ 30,000 and up. Maybe a better option (and all these options depend on how much bone is left) would be to do “establish retained dentures”, where implants are placed to help hold in the dentures…a very excellent option usually. Patients are usually very pleased with the results. Best wishes. (cost per establish generally about $ 2200, so might use two per denture e.g.)

Answer by Ai
has she lost all her teeth or just few? Complete denture fixing with establish is going to be very expensive & the dentist will judge is she is the right patient for it or not. If few are missing, go in for a join which is cheaper & no surgical procedures.

Nothing is better than your own teeth. You will get problems with anything prosthetic (fake) in your mouth.

Nope, nothing is “better and stronger” than real teeth. Implants are a fantastic alternative if you’ve already lost/are about to lose your teeth because of cavities or perio disease. You can eat a lot more with implants than you can with dentures because implants are fixed and won’t wobble, so yes, with implants you can bite into apples/chew steaks/etc. But, implants may not last a time – you still have to be really excellent about keeping them clean by coiffure and flossing. They can “rot” in that infection can develop around them and then they’ll have to be removed, so just because they’re not real teeth doesn’t mean you don’t have to clean them!
