Dentures plus implants after radiation

Hi,
Had brachytherapy to mandible after removal of front teeth. At age 87 did have implant for front teeth (permanent not removable) but after radiation results concluded. Took a while. Not perfect but pretty good after 2 years. Also had bridging crowns on maxilla after remove of 6 teeth (no evidence of cancer but did have 3 cancers one after the another 3 months apart before getting radiation). Fortunate if oncologist and dentist can coordinate, I had to do much of coordination.

Thanks for that. Am meeting with radiation and chemotherapy doctors later this month to determine if it’s too early in recovery to go forward
