Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
I am 53 years old. After open-heart surgery (bypass twelve years ago), I have been losing my upper teeth year after year. I now wear a removable denture, retained on the left and right by the canines, which are mobile. Given that I am a heart patient, I would like to know whether a complete upper denture supported by implants would be an option for me. Thank you and kind regards!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
It is certainly possible to place implants. Unlike, for example, mobile canines, they do not represent foci of infection. If you are taking anticoagulant medication, preoperative preparation is required, but this does not in itself pose a risk.
Have a nice day!
