A member asked:
In general, as a senior, would it have been smart to have teeth extracted replaced with single implants due to the so many pulled, 6 single implants, 3 root canals, osseous surgery across all bottom teeth twice, replacing crowns when i was younger?

No matter how old you are, having a good and healthy dentition is the best situation for your body and appearance. People don't like having to wear dentures and taking them in and out of mouth and many times losing them.

The ideal situation would be to maintain and restore your own teeth for as long as possible. If they are somehow lost, then replace with implants.
