Q.
I have only two natural teeth left in upper jaw. I used to have 4 crowns in the front but after many years the root couldn’t hold the teeth anymore. I’ve had them removed. I’d like implants. I’m 56 years old. Can I get just about 8 teeth for comestic purposes in the front. Or must I have the whole top of mouth done. I have lived without back teeth for a long time. I got my crowns done because of broken front teeth in my twenties. I do not have any gum desease.
On the lower jaw I have 9 teeth left. I’m more concerned with the upper ones. I have a small front artificial upper plate, as I cannot bear the full one. Is it nessessary to have a full set implant in the upper jaw or can I get just the front few done. Than you.

Hello, You can get just 8 teeth done if this suits your bite but ideally they will last longer if you place say 10-12 teeth to restore the bite as well. Hope your situation turns out well.
