I went to visit my mother who lives in a different state. We’re trying to talk her into moving in with us. She’s 85 and her health is declining. While we were having dinner one of her teeth fell out, right there on the plate. She said she lost two others as well. I don’t know how much money she has. What is an affordable way to take care of this? I’m worried sick about her. I’ve heard both dental implants and bridges are good. What’s your opinion?<\/p>\n

Elizabeth E.<\/p>\n

Dear Elizabeth,<\/p>\n

\"Tulsa<\/p>\n

It’s lovely that you’re there to care for your mother. When we’re children we rely on them. As they age, it is sometimes hard for them to allow us to look after them. I hope she allows you to help.<\/p>\n

If your mother has teeth just falling out, that means she has incredibly advanced gum disease. That needs to be treated right away. She’s going to continue losing teeth until it is under control. Because of the gum disease, neither dental implants<\/a> or a bridge will work. She doesn’t have anything strong enough to maintain them.<\/p>\n

Affordable Tooth Replacement Options<\/h2>\n

However, once her gum disease if dealt with, dental implants are the top of the line treatment. But, you asked for affordable and I would not call them that.<\/p>\n

The most affordable dental treatment<\/a> for her will be complete dentures. Generally, it wouldn’t be something I’d recommend because of the facial collapse<\/a> which results from bone resorption, but your mother’s 85. I don’t think it will be an issue for her.<\/p>\n

\"Cu-SilIf there are teeth which can be saved, don’t switch her treatment to removable partial dentures. Her teeth have been through a lot and that particular treatment (along with a dental bridge) puts too much stress on the remaining teeth for her situation. Instead, you could get her a denture which makes room for her remaining teeth without putting stress on them. It’s called a Cu-Sil Denture. I’ve put a picture of it to the left.<\/p>\n

Best of luck with your mother.
