I Have Recently Had 16 Teeth Extracted. Is There Such A Thing As Attaching Dentures To Implants?

Q.
Hi I have recently undergone an operation of 16 extractions on my upper set and now I have no teeth at all.
I have a denture but my appearance and mouth has totally changed. I also have an overbite and my lip looks swollen when there worn. I’m still on the same type of food I was eating during after the operation. I am only 20 years young and I would love a long term option. Are there any option that won’t break the bank financially? Is there such a thing as attaching dentures to implants? Thank you.

Hello and thank you for your question. You might be a good candidate for implants but it will be quite expensive, I’m sure the improvement in your quality of life will be worth it however, and yes you could also look at getting dentures to implants if this would suit you. The best thing for you to do is research what you can have done and then scout the internet for professional dental practices in your area. If their prices are too much for you, you could see if they offer a long term payment plan. You could also ask your dentist to refer you to a local dental hospital. Good luck, Dr Andrew Moore.
