implants or dentures ?

dollyk

Im 52 and my lower back teeth have to be removed very soon.
The rest are not much better tbh. Im wondering if dentures
with maybe mini implants ? implants with bridging ?
Or just old fashioned dentures.
I can get a credit union loan, so can afford to spend maybe 5,000.
Ive been to a clinic here, and they gave me these options.
Thanks.

Generally what you get for the increased complexity and cost of implant restorations is oral comfort. Conventional dentures tend to be unstable in most situations and people invariably prefer implant supported or retained dentures or bridges. If you can afford it the the implants have great benefit in confidence eating, smiling and comfort.

Mini implants are generally a waste as they have poor success rates both long and short term.

Really you need to get the dentist that is proposing this to you to explain all the prospective pros and cons. If they are going to ref you to a specialist then they will ddo that also.
