Old people have no teeth. Is it better to implant teeth or traditional removable dentures?

This mainly depends on the alveolar bone of the elderly. Dental implants and removable dentures have their own advantages and indications. 1. The dental implant is firm after whole mouth implantation, and it can achieve better aesthetic effect without taking it off and cleaning it regularly after implantation, which is not much different from natural teeth in comfort. However, full-mouth dental implants require high alveolar bone conditions. If there is severe osteoporosis and alveolar bone atrophy, the method of dental implant may not be suitable, and some elderly people with chronic diseases are not suitable for dental implant, so consult an implant doctor before dental implant. 2. Removable Dentures The wearing comfort of removable dentures is relatively average, because many removable dentures will have metal materials to hook natural teeth on the outside. And in the process of daily use, it may fall off. On the other hand, there will be some atrophy after the alveolar bone is missing teeth. Removable dentures will not meet the requirements when worn for a long time. Therefore, many elderly people must be repaired after wearing removable dentures for a period of time before they can continue to use them.
