I had bridges for 30 year and my gums are receeding now is dental implant is the only answer

Q. I am 53 yrs of age and had 4 of my front teeth removed when i was 13 years of age. I have had 2 bridges over the last 30 years but my only problem now is my gums have receeded and one can see gaps and they look unsightly and am very consious of it. Is there anything that can be done for that or is implants the only answer. Looking forward to your reply.

A. You could either replace the bridges and make the new ones fit the gum better or try implants. Implants should prevent the gum line changing as they stimulate the bone thus reducing later shrinkage regards  Andrew

Can you still have implants if your bone have gone. What can you do to prevent people
from noticing your teeth are missing. It may become difficult to smile.
