Implants for Those 65 and Older

As we get older, various problems caused by aging begin to appear, but the most uncomfortable ones are likely the aging symptoms related to daily life, clothing, food, and shelter. Among them, tooth loss causes difficulty even when chewing food or speaking, so it becomes one of the biggest obstacles in everyday life.

If the amount of tooth loss is large, a replacement tooth procedure such as implants can feel burdensome, but I will explain full-mouth implants, which are not like that, so if you still have even one tooth left, please make a quick decision about full-mouth implants now!

Full-mouth implant inquiry

For implants for those 65 and older with a large amount of tooth loss, while considering full-mouth implants, since only a few natural teeth remain, patients usually ask three main questions: how many implants will be needed, whether the cost will be very expensive, and whether there is a way to reduce the financial burden.

We can answer as follows.

Because a minimally placed full-mouth implant is possible, the total cost of full-mouth implants can be greatly reduced, and health insurance coverage can help reduce the financial burden!

Minimally placed full-mouth implant inquiry

A minimally placed full-mouth implant for those 65 and older places implants only in the positions that are absolutely necessary for daily life, then connects the positions where implants were not placed with bridges, making full-mouth restoration possible at a lower cost.

Not only is the cost lower, but because it is minimally placed, it places less strain on the periodontal tissues, and it is sufficient to restore both aesthetics and function.

In a case involving the loss of 17 teeth, full-mouth implant treatment for those 65 and older was possible with only 9 implants placed. Even in cases where the periodontal tissues have deteriorated, or where surgery failed at another dental clinic, or in cases involving systemic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis, full-mouth implant treatment for those 65 and older is possible.

Inquiry about National Health Insurance coverage for full-mouth implants

The statement that you should make a quick decision about full-mouth implants while you still have even one tooth left was made in relation to health insurance coverage. If you are a National Health Insurance subscriber or dependent aged 65 or older, have at least one remaining natural tooth, and have fewer than two implants covered by implant health insurance, then, if you meet the conditions above, you can further reduce the cost of full-mouth implants through health insurance coverage.

(Out-of-pocket cost: approximately KRW 360,000 to 420,000 per implant at 30%)

Minimizing full-mouth implant side effects

Minimizing the side effects of full-mouth implants can also be considered one way to reduce costs.

Full-mouth implants are clearly different from single implants, so if done improperly, they can cause major side effects.

A treatment plan and techniques specialized for full-mouth implants, as well as consistent aftercare, are necessary. This is to minimize side effects such as implant loss, metal exposure, gum lifting, alveolar bone recession, and inflammation.
