12 y.o Dental implants become blunt
My grandma had artificial teeth permanently fixed 12 years ago. Now the teeth have become blunt and she has difficulty food that's needed to be grinded by tooth before swallowing like meat or hard food. Can this situation be fixed. No followup procedure was undertaken post installation which was done at a local dentist at Charminar (Hyderabad).

It can definitely be changed and corrected with new fixed teeth. The old ones have worn off. Do visit your dentist
