Years is it possible to have implants ?
Hello Andy. since you have missing teeth for 25 years it is likely that you will have lost some bone in your jaw. It is a natural process that after teeth have been removed or are missing for some time the bone that once supported the tooth root slowly resorbs away. Following a CT scan or X-rays we can establish how much bone has been lost and if you need a bone grafting procedure before an implant supported denture or maybe you are a candidate for Nobel Biocare all on 4.

I have a pallet on the top and some good teeth on bottom but I hate my pallet when I first had it fitted it felt ok but know it falls out and it’s embarrassing when your eating out and your teeth come loose. So I’ve got to find a way of getting implants or some better fixture, I’m tending to be more conscious when out with friends and always watching what I can eat safely
Any advice would be appreciated.
Your frustrations and embarrassment are very common for people with pallet/dentures. we all wish to eat the foods we enjoy and speak properly. At BPI dental we understand your problems. we have a number of solutions to help you; an implant supported denture may work well for you and is less expensive than all on 4. we offer a FREE service where you can come and talk to our Implant Coordinator who will discuss treatment options and cost. Dental implants will help you be less conscious when out with friends and live a better quality of life!
My teeth are all breaking at the gumline. I only have my 2 front teeth on the upper left the rest are stubs. My lower are better but there starting to break too. What is the procedure I need
thank you for your inquiry. without a dental examination it is very difficult to propose why your teeth are breaking, I strongly suggest you see a dentist to get a diagnosis. one possibility is that you have a “Temporo Mandibular Joint Syndrome” – TMJ Disorder. please follow the link to read more about TMJ Disorder https://www.dentailmplantsbirmingham.com/tooth-replacement/false-teeth-repair-cost/
Hi
My teeth are in a bad condition lost a few have a plate in can you still have implants with no teeth
Hi martin. yes it is possible to have implants when you have lost all your teeth. There are two solutions. Either you can have an implant retained denture or the all on 4 treatment. If you have had missing teeth for sometime then you may have lost bone. a bone grafting procedure might be required first if you opted for denture implants.
