A. It sounds to me like your mother has chronic periodontal disease and in this case she would need to see a periodontist to see what can be done to save the teeth she has left.
If your dentist has told you that you mothers bone is shrinking then this may be a problem if you are thinking of restoring the gaps with implants as implants are fused to the bone. Although there are things you can do such as bone grafts to deal with this.
I recommend that you book your mother on to see a periodontist followed by a consultation with an implantologist. The Harley Street Dental Studio can offer you both specialists under one roof. Please visit www.harleystreetdentalstudio.com.
