Hi.
Please give the status of the remaining teeth. As stated by you that your father is very healthy. Assuming his oral health corresponds to his general well being, it is advised to replace the missing teeth only.
Next Steps
Please get the study models made and radiograph done from your dentist to evaluate the health of remaining teeth and the residual alveolar bone. then accordingly plan which treatment is better for your father. You can choose between implants, fixed bridge work or cast partial denture.
