Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have very bad teeth and all are loose. I want to take them all out and replace it with denture implants. What are my options? Please explain.

Answered by Dr. Naveen Thomas

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If most of the teeth are loose, then you can go for dentures after removing all of them. You will need to wait for at least three months after removing all to get a good seating denture. If you are going for implant supported dentures, then it is required that you undergo some bone density tests, other systemic diseases test for diabetes, etc. Uncontrollable diabetes is a contraindication for them. Also, your age and general wellbeing matters for placement of implant. Normal dentures without implant can be made after nearly three months of the last tooth extracted. It is done to get a well healed uniform gum without any bumps. I cannot say much without at least seeing a picture of your teeth and if possible an OPG x-ray (orthopantomogram). You should also consider the costs as implant supported dentures will cost a lot more than normal removable dentures.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
