I am 57 years old. I have been wearing a complete upper denture for several years and simply cannot get used to it, although I have already had many replacements, so I am very often without it, especially at home.
I would like dental implants or stable teeth, which would make my life easier, as I am tired of constantly worrying about hiding this deficiency. Because of the lengthy procedures, waiting and the additionally high price, I have not yet been able to decide on such treatment, so I ask you to advise me how long it would take and, above all, at what price my wish for stable teeth could be realised. I have no other problems with my gums, apart from the fact that it is dreadful to wear the denture in my mouth and to worry that it will remain firmly fixed.
I would be very grateful for your answer.
Kind regards,
Iljgo

Dear Sir/Madam!
Solutions that provide a stable and functional fixed or removable prosthetic restoration in the upper jaw are certainly supported by dental implants:
-two implants + denture with a partially reduced palate (the existing one can be modified); price: 2 × 750 = EUR 1,500.
-four implants + denture with a cast base (without a palatal plate); price: 4 × 750 = EUR 3,000 + denture 710 = EUR 3,710. Optimal version
-fixed circular construction that remains permanently in the mouth (we recommend the second option more); price 6 × 750 + metal-ceramic crowns 6 × 420 + 2 × 210 = 4,500 + 2,520 + 420 = EUR 7,440.
We recommend the second version for EUR 3,710, in which cleaning is the simplest and most effective, any repairs are quick and simple, stability is sufficient and aesthetics are optimal. The ratio between price and result is optimal. For an exact plan and an offer, please visit our practice, where we will also take an X-ray if you do not already have one.
Have a nice day!
