Hello Sir, I am 47 yr. old diabetic for last 6 years. I walk for 45 minutes and do exercise 50 - 60 minutes in the morning everyday. My fasting sugar 135 and pp is 174 last week. I took a medicine Glucoril M1 in morning only but my health is degraded gradually. I have also foot drop problem in my right leg from last year and numbness from the lower of right leg Knees. I had taken medicines for foot drop problem but I have no any benefit. Can you prescribe me some medicines for my foot drop problem and numbness? Thank You

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.
