As one of the good methods of dental prosthesis, dental implant is also more exciting for many elderly people. Some 60 - and 70 year olds will feel that dental implant is unnecessary and worry about the risks of dental implant, so I suggest you look at the advantages and disadvantages of dental implant for elderly people, and then decide whether to implant teeth!

First question and answer: Is it necessary for people in their 60s and 70s to have dental implants?

First of all, the age of 60 or 70 years old is not very old. Implants can be used for a long time. A good implant and proper care can be used for 30 or 40 years. There is no need to remove the cleaning. Normal diet is no problem, so it is cost-effective to use implants at this age!

It is necessary to implant teeth, but it is also necessary to understand the advantages and disadvantages of implant teeth for the elderly:

Benefits:

1. The elderly are more comfortable than the traditional removable dentures, without foreign body feeling, and only need to clean like their own teeth.

2. The elderly also have a higher demand for dental implants. The elderly need to chew enough food to absorb nutrition when eating, and implant teeth can do this, which is impossible to do with other repair methods.

3. The implant teeth of the elderly are relatively stable. The implant is pure titanium, which grows with alveolar bone and has high stability after implantation.

Disadvantages:

1. Some elderly people have poor physical foundation, and some people have three high or serious diseases. Planting is not recommended at this time.

2. Long time of tooth loss and atrophy of alveolar bone will increase the difficulty of implant, and cannot be used as ordinary implant.

3. Recovery time will be slower than that of young people.

In general, the cost performance of dental implants for young people is quite high, and the overall advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is suggested that the elderly who lack teeth should implant teeth earlier and use them earlier!
