So, I will be coming to Thailand again and I am in need of dental repair, I had bad teeth since I was a kid and had some repairs done but now, I am getting old and going to Thailand again in a few months' time and I wonder if I just get all my teeth pulled out and get an implant or just get dentures. Now I am 76 and my kick the bucked next year or after, so what is your opinion get them all pulled out and have an implant or just get dentures and if anybody know the price, I will be in Thailand again for about 4 weeks, any help appreciated what you think is the best thing to do?

Thete is no such thing as replacing all teeth with a single implant.  Implants are individual teeth and quite expensive  in Thailand. If thinking of getting multiple implants (let alone a full mouthful) India would be a much better destination than Thailand. But still very expensive (and time consuming) to do a large number of implants. 

 

It is never wise to remove a healthy tooth. The fact that you have had a lot of dental problems does not necessarily mean all or even most of your teeth need to come out. 

 

You need a comprehensive evsluation to determibe best solution. Might be dentures, partial dentures or a mix of a few implants plus dentures.

Average life ecpectancy for a 76 year old Australian male is 88 years. And almost half will make it into their 90's. So unless you have a diagnosed terminal disease, do not base your decisions on the assumption you won't live much longer.

 

It is never a good idea to extract a healthy tooth and the fact that you've had a lot of dental issues does not mean that all your teeth are bad.

 

No one can tell you the best solution without a comprehensive dental examination.  Often partial dentures, with or without an implant or two to help anchor them, do the trick.
