Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If most of the teeth are loose, then you can go for dentures after removing all of them. You will need to wait for at least three months after removing all to get a good seating denture. If you are going for implant-supported dentures, then it is required that you undergo some bone density tests, and other systemic disease tests for diabetes, etc. Uncontrollable diabetes is a contraindication for them. Also, your age and general well-being matter for the placement of an implant.

Normal dentures without implants can be made after nearly three months of the last tooth extracted. It is done to get a well-healed uniform gum without any bumps. I cannot say much without at least seeing a picture of your teeth and if possible an OPG X-ray (orthopantomogram). You should also consider the costs as implant-supported dentures will cost a lot more than normal removable dentures.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
