I am sick of dentures can I have implants at my age?

Q. I am 58 and had all mt top teeth taken out on the advice of my dentist 30years ago. I dont think this would be the advice now as I only had a couple of bad teeth and two missing. my question is would I be able to have implants as I have tried dentures but they make me physically sick and I cannot wear them. thank you

A. Implants are definitely a possibility but you need to be assessed for available bone using a CT scanner and you may need bone grafts
