Advise from Dentist
Four lower front teeth removed because there were shaky due to tartar deposit. How they should be replaced since there are so many technologies these days. I am only worried that she is 55 and should not under go any surgery. Looking for a non surgical or least surgical method with best results and long lasting . Pls advise
There are quite a few options for her.
Options are - removable partial denture (RPD), bridge and implants and which is the best can be decided after careful examination.
Implants, can be a best option as it is provides fixed tooth unlike RPD and does not damage the adjacent teeth which is the case in bridge option.
Implants require time to settle in the jaw and it requires a minor surgical procedure where it is to be fixed.

Implants are the best option as they preserve the bone and the teeth are fixed in the jaw without damaging the adjacent teeth. The surgery is very minor and safe and results very predictable.
Other options are fixed partial dentures( bridge) or a removable partial denture in case that is not feasible.
