I have eggshell bone – will this be a problem for dentures?

Q.
I had a full mouth extraction 1-18-11. My dentist said I have eggshell bone. I am scheduled for dentures soon. Will this be a problem?
A.
It shouldn’t be a problem for full dentures. Have you considered dental implants to hold the dentures in better? It might be worth your while going for a consultation with a prosthetic dentist who is an expert in dental implants as they often hold the dentures in much better. He or she could assess the quality of the bone.
