What kind of dental veneers are suitable for the elderly

Dental veneers for elderly patients are mainly based on a comprehensive judgment of all aspects. Whether it is fixed denture, removable denture, or implant denture, most elderly patients can undergo it. This can be done as long as the patient has no major health problems, such as severe heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and other acute diseases. However, there are still some requirements for dentures, which are not only limited to the elderly, but also exist for young people, mainly the following: 1. Active denture requires that the patient’s alveolar ridge must not have particularly serious acute inflammation and must be treated well, including dental treatment. The movable denture has the widest range of application and can be restored by basically everyone. 2. Fixed denture requires strong and sturdy abutment teeth on both sides, so there may be some elderly people with loose teeth and chronic periodontitis due to long-term lack of good treatment, which may affect fixed denture restoration. If the periodontal treatment or endodontic treatment is perfected, the fixed denture can still be restored after treatment; 3. The implant denture requires healthy bone under the alveolar ridge, and it should have sufficient height and width. Therefore, as long as there are relatively good bone conditions, implant restorations can still be performed. Older people do not need to worry, and in most cases there is a wide range of options.
