Hello and welcome to hcm,
Implants are usually worth and preferred in young individuals,although aged persons are also willing for implant prosthesis.
Bone support and supporting periodontal structures should be intact for placing implants.
If your aesthtic and functional requirements are high,you can prefer implants.
Orelse,complete denture will be adequate.
Implants are expensive compared to acrylic dentures.
Please do visit your dentist and get clinical check-up and details regarding this.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Dental Implants are usually preferred in young individuals can also be given in older patients depending upon the condition of the periodontium and absence of systemic diseases.
The periodontium and supporting structure should be healthy and should be thoroughly examined by the dentist before placement of implant, success rate also depends upon condition of periodontium, absence of diseases and maintainence of good oral hygiene by the patient.
As you have mentioned your father is boderline diabetes , you may have to recent blood routine test to show the Dentist.
Another better option in your case can be placement of COMPLETE DENTURES.
Visit to the Dentist and get the necessary details and check up regarding the details.
Hope this helps out.
Regards...

hello there ,
Placement of the implants depends on various conditions like general health conditions ,diabetes , thyroid profile , underlying medical conditions .
apart from this , implants are placed considering the jaw bone support ,bone density , bone height and periodontal support.
i would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will show the alveolar bone support and accordingly treatment can be planned .
consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done.
i hope this helps ,
take care.
