Dentures, whole nine yards?


My wife age 35 yr old. needs major dental surgery, had about 8 or so dental implants about 10 years back and now she needs whole dentures. I don鈥檛 have dental insurance here in USA and she believes that it will be cheaper which I agree, any idea how long would it take from start to finish, remove all teeth鈥檚 and replace all with new dentures or implants in major city like Ahmadabad, Gujarat

how long eg: how many months, will it take form start to finish??

Hi! Your wife is way too young to have dentures and this is a disaster at 35. I've been in dentistry for over 25 years. WHAT I would do is consult an Oral Surgeon that is highly recommended and see if the implants can be used for a IMPLANT-RETAINED-DENTURE. Huge difference than an simple denture.
These are more secure and will not come out when laughing or chewing, and you are not limited to soft foods and removing the teeth at night when going to bed. This is help her confidence as well. Most people who get dentures in their 50'splus have some sense of "feeling" old and at 35 this is de-moralizing as the least.
Shop around for a dentist who the Surgeon recommmends and see if you can get a payment plan. I do this. 1/3 done to cover all my lab fees and assistant costs and a monthly payment until paid in full. Some dentists will be glad to do this if you are timely and make the payments as promised. Most of the dentists I know that will not are because they lost so much on patients that stiff them.
I think this is your best recourse and also removing implants is not practical so you should use them to support the denture and everyone will be happy as few people will detect she has a denture. Remember a denture sits ON TOP of the gum ridge and tends to move and come loose. This is a miserable feeling without dental adhensive that tastes terrible and alters the take of food. Please try this first. M
