A. Dear T

Dental implants are a wonderful option to get rid of those dentures, we had had lots of clients who have had implants after wearing dentures for over 40 years!!! They all say they wish they had done it sooner. Cosmetically we have so many options for you now that we can create lifelike smiles that are impossible to tell from the real thing. The biggest advantages are the the fact you will be able to smile and eat with confidence and not worry about your teeth.

The success of implants is dependant on the quality and amount of bone you have which we would assess at our initial consultation. As you have not had teeth teeth for over 20 years there is a high likelyhood we might have to carry out some extra procedures to regenerate some bone.
Timescales for treatment vary from 4-12 months depending on each individual case.

I look forward to meeting you soon
