I was told that implants and extractions promote onj with fosamax as opposed to crowns and root canals? What have you heard?

I am in a dilemma. Dr with agree to Forteo for 2 years. Then what? No HRT. Dr want Reclast to maintain. I said no due to risk of onj. Then what? Hope something else gets established?

You might want a second, third or fourth opinion…🤗
“The O-rings used to secure dentures will need to be replaced regularly as they will start to loosen and will not hold the denture as securely in place. Depending on the amount of wear, the O-rings should be replaced every six months to two years. Although they are not expensive, replacing these fittings usually requires a visit to the dentist.
When used for denture stabilization, a greater number of mini implants are required compared to traditional dental implant systems.
Mini dental implants for upper jaw: Mini dental implant surgical procedure in NYC may not be a good solution for replacing teeth in the upper jaw where bone density tends to be lower.
Mini dental implants to stabilize an upper denture: When mini implants are used to stabilize an upper denture then this process will typically require between 10 and 12 dental implants.
This may mean more traditional dental implants are a more cost-effective solution comparing to dental mini implants.
