Replace lower Dentures?
I have a lower denture that used to sit on 2 anchor teeth. One tooth cracked and needed to be removed by an oral surgeon. A week later the second anchor tooth broke off at the gum…its still embedded in the jaw. The denture is illfitting and loose and causes me pain when I chew. Would I be a candidate now for implants of the lower jaw? Because I kept 4 bottom teeth that part of my jaw is still full in the front; however, I lost all back teeth when I was 30 yr old. I’m 70 years old now and the back parts of my gum have receded, so I would need some bone replacement for the back teeth. I cannot eat or chew without pain. Is there hope for me? …
