The Everyday Struggle

If you have elderly parents or grandparents at home who struggle to eat, smile, or speak confidently because of missing teeth, you’re not alone.

Many families in Kakinada walk into Srinivasa Multispecialty Dental Hospital with the same worry:

“Doctor, implants costly ga untayi… dentures comfortable ga untaya?”

(Doctor, implants are costly… are dentures comfortable?”)

Tooth loss doesn’t just affect appearance.

It affects eating… nutrition… confidence… and even facial shape.

And for many elders, choosing the right option can be overwhelming.

The Case for Dental Implants

Dental implants are considered the most advanced and long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.

According to Dr. D.V.S. Kiran Raju, widely regarded as one of the best dentists in Kakinada, implants are an excellent option because they:

● Look and feel like natural teeth

● Help maintain jawbone

● Stay fixed, without slipping

● Provide strong chewing ability

But here’s the truth — implants are not always suitable for every patient.

Some elders:

● Have medical conditions

● Have low bone support

● Prefer non-surgical options

● Need a more budget-friendly solution

That’s where dentures become a game-changing alternative.


The Advantages of Complete Removable Dentures

Modern dentures are not like the old-fashioned, uncomfortable ones people often fear. Today’s dentures are lightweight, natural-looking, and customized to each patient’s face shape.
