When my grandmother turned 74, she lost the remaining of her lower teeth and went from partial to a full denture. It was painful for me to watch her drinking processed food at the parties. She could not chew, her lower denture was moving as she was trying to talk, so eventually she stopped wearing it.
Her general dentist told me she was too old and had diabetes, so nothing could of been done about it. Like most grandparents, food is all they left to enjoy, I could not see my grandmother using food processor every few hours so I kep looking for other alternatives. At Smile In The City, after seeing the Prosthodontist Dr. Nargiz Schmidt, we were told that all my grandmother needs are two implants that will secure the lower denture in place so it won't move. The process took few months, once implants integrated, denture was made and articulated properly that my grandmother could comfortably chew and speak. We were all so happy to see her enjoy such a simple activity as eating without using food processor to liquify food (these every day routine tasks are something we all take for granted).
My grandmother is turning 88 in March, and I am so happy we were able to give her the gift of enjoying every day living to the fullest.
