 Implants for lower teeth?
Author: Claudia Zornow 
Date:   2021-06-03 01:08

Has anyone here had their lower teeth (bottom front four incisors) replaced with implants and been able to continue playing? My boyfriend has bone loss around those teeth and needs extraction, bone grafting, and then either implants or a six-unit bridge anchored on the lower canines.

He has gotten opinions from two dentists. One thinks that implants would not be strong enough to withstand the forces of clarinet playing (downward and lateral pressure) due to the small size (diameter) of implants for those teeth; this dentist recommends the six-unit bridge. The other dentist thinks that implants would be more than strong enough.

I've searched the archives here and found posts from people who had implants on their top front teeth, or bridges (one person had a seven-unit bridge on top), or even dentures, and who have still been able to play. Nothing about bottom teeth being replaced, though.

Thanks for sharing any experience you might have with this.
