Implant Dentistry at 99?

Posted on: 07.31.17 | by Daren Becker

A patient of mine who happens to be 99 years old and still has a full compliment of teeth just had #10 break off below the gum line.  He wants an implant restoration. To further complicate the situation, his daughter-in-law called in to tell us to just make him a flipper.

Should a 99 year old have an implant?

Do we have any obligation to communicate with the daughter-in-law?
