Hopefully permanent, but she’s likely to have some kind of an issue through her life. This is pretty much her last shot at a fixed option, there’s basically no bone left.

These “All-on-X” cases are being done on people far too young.

Well things happen. Young people lose their teeth for a multitude of reasons. Most dental care isn't covered by insurance in America and getting any work done is crazy expensive. This unfortunately leads to a lot of people no matter what age not regularly checking their dental health until it's too late. Also, I know pregnancy is hard on oral health and seen multiple women lose all their teeth or at least a few following pregnancy. I had to get all my wisdom teeth and two molars removed after I had my daughter. Don't even get me started on the hell my gums went through. I got a dental bridge for my molars in the back but I do hope to get them replaced with actual implants one day. I am trying my hardest to hold on to the rest of the teeth I have. I'm going through periodontal care now and so far, in spite of some deep pockets, my teeth seem to be healthy and sturdy.
