Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am 46 years old and have had crowns on my upper and lower teeth for 18 years.
Because of wear of the crowns and also loss of teeth in the back of the lower jaw, I decided on a complete rehabilitation of both jaws. I do not think the upper jaw will be a problem, since I am missing only 1 tooth at the back on the left, and similarly on the right. The lower jaw is a bigger problem because I have to have a lower central incisor extracted, so on the right side I will have only teeth 1-4 (four teeth) remaining, and even fewer on the left because the central incisor has to be extracted. So only tooth 4 will remain there; everything else is missing.
Of course, I would like to avoid a denture, as the very thought of one frightens me. Please tell me how many implants I would need.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Based on the status you describe, I would suggest a solution with four implants:
-lower right: an implant at the position of tooth 6
-lower left: implants at the positions of tooth 6, tooth 3 and tooth 1.
Have a nice day!
