Visitor asks:
Hello,
your answers have "encouraged" me to ask a few questions myself. I am 64 years old and still have my own teeth (4 are already missing), but unfortunately I also have progressive periodontal disease, untreated. In the upper jaw I noticed that where a tooth is missing, the neighboring teeth have tilted sideways. Only slightly, but enough to notice.
I would not like a conventional denture, so my question is whether it would make sense to place an implant immediately, or whether the condition of the gums and bone should first be assessed with an X-ray.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam!
I can answer your question only after examining a panoramic X-ray and performing a clinical examination. You can make an appointment for the X-ray by calling 5300660.
