Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have severe periodontal disease, which has already “brought” me a complete upper denture. I have had it for about four years. Recently it happens that merely thinking about it makes me gag, and then I have to take it out. I do not know what the reason is.
To make matters even worse, I may soon need a lower denture as well. I am now fighting for every lower tooth because I have been told that a lower denture is even more difficult to wear.
I would like to know whether, in my case of severe periodontal disease, implants could be placed in the upper and lower jaw and then a fixed prosthesis made.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the anatomical conditions allow placement of a larger number of implants, including in the area of the paranasal sinuses and in the posterior part of the lower jaw, the desired treatment can certainly be carried out relatively easily. In the case of unfavorable anatomical or histological conditions, these can be corrected by adding your own or donor bone, although the procedures are somewhat more difficult and time-consuming.
Have a nice day!
