Sir, I have lost my job over a year back and i still find it difficult to get a new job inspite of the fact that I have over 20 years experience in the field. At this stage, all my saving are coming to an end and i do not see any future or any other means of livelihood. I have been told that at my age of 46, it is difficult to find an new job or to change my field. I am not sure as to what I should do. Kindly advise. Please advise. Suresh

Ans: Hello

Please be assured, AGE isn't a barrier for implants. But overall health is a factor. Your dentist will assess your bone density, gum health, and general medical history before he places your implants.

Implants have some definite advantages over removable dentures. They provide a stable and secure fit, improved chewing and speech.
And with proper care may last for 10-15 years or more.
On the negative side, upfront cost of implants can be higher, surgery cannot be avoided and healing can take 3-6 months.

Cost-wise, Implants can be more cost-effective in the long run.
"All-on-4" implants might be cheaper than individual implants, but waiting might lead to deterioration of bone health, making the process more complex.

Consult your dentist about:
- Your specific oral health situation
- Bone density scan (to check if you have enough bone for implants)
- Cost estimates and financing options
- Timeline for the procedure.
