How long will it take for my husband to have implants and crowns instead of dentures?
Q.
My husband has just had his 4 front teeth taken out & now wears dentures. His bone & gums are in terrible condition, but we have been told that he might be able to have injections to rebuild bone & gums, then have implants with a bridge! How long does this procedure take & is there an estimated cost. He has only had dentures for a few days, but I don’t think its suiting him. How long will he have to wait for the process to start. He doesn’t have any infection in his gum, so will he have to wait long? My husband is only 42 so dentures for the rest of his life is not an option! Help!
