All-on-5 Implant treatment for seniors requires not only advanced dental expertise but also proper medical infrastructure to ensure maximum safety and long-term success.

His journey is a remarkable testament to how modern implant dentistry can dramatically improve quality of life, even at an advanced age.

Age Is Just a Number: Why Mr. Dinh Chose Implants at 90

In November 2022, despite having reached the age of 90, Mr. Dinh decided to restore his long-lost smile with a full-arch implant solution — All-on-5 Neodent (Switzerland) — at Saigon Implant Dental.

After a thorough consultation with our implant specialists, he felt confident to begin this meaningful journey. Only six months later, he completed both the implant placement and ceramic restorations, achieving a stable, strong, and natural-looking new smile.

Why All-on-5 Implant Is Ideal for Senior Patients

Many people believe seniors cannot undergo implant treatment — but modern dentistry proves otherwise. With advanced technology and premium implant systems like Neodent (Switzerland), full-arch implant placement for seniors is now safer, more predictable, and more successful than ever.

Key benefits for seniors include:

• Restored chewing function comparable to natural teeth
• Minimal discomfort, safe for overall health
• Lifetime durability, cost-effective long-term
• Improved speech clarity and facial aesthetics

Thanks to these advantages, implant dentistry has become the optimal solution for full-arch tooth replacement in older adults.
