Dental Implants
My father aged 56 is looking to get dentures temporarily for 6 teeth on the lower jaw (last 3 teeth on each side) Would it be possible for him to get dental implants in the future and let go of the dentures?

Yes he can go for dentures for a short while and after sometime opt for implants if he wants.

It’s good to massage the gums regularly as there is bone loss under dentures.
