Hi everyone. I am here to ask some important questions because I would like to know what my options are before going to the dentist.
My top teeth have always been the ones that have broke, chipped and decayed. I have always taken care of them but they are really soft and easily break. I have a few in the back that have to be pulled cause they are down to the gum. One of my front teeth started to decay and it broke off and now it must be replaced. My other front tooth can be saved, and there's 3 others on top that can be saved as well. There's another tooth on top that is decaying and I have all ideas they will have to take it, I don't think it can be fixed.
So, I am wondering with having 4 teeth on top, if I can still get a single partical denture for my front tooth. That's the only one I want replaced cause it's the one that is very noticable. The others you can't even tell are missing. I do not want a full set of dentures for my top teeth because the ones I have are still in good shape and can be worked on without having them removed. I know that a partical denture clamps onto the other teeth but since I only have 4, was wondering if it could still be done. He might suggest an implant for the front tooth, I am skeptical about that since the procedure takes months, I would like to just have a single partial. Would just like to know if you see that being an option and if anyone has more experience with this. Thanks!
