Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!
In the upper jaw I have a cast partial denture that is attached to two teeth on the left and three on the right. I am mainly missing the front teeth (both central incisors and both lateral incisors). Now the teeth on the left (canine and first premolar) that support the partial denture have become very loose. They have also become very sensitive to touch, have started to hurt, and the crown is worn. The teeth urgently need to be extracted. On the right side of the upper jaw I still have three teeth that are currently still fine, but in the long term it will probably be necessary to consider removing them as well.
What kind of upper denture will I need after extraction of the painful teeth?
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If I understand correctly, you intend to have all the teeth removed, so you will need a complete denture. The denture can be conventional with the palate covered, or a better option without a palatal plate and retained by four implants. If the three teeth on the right side can be preserved, a partial denture attached to them is required. The remaining teeth can serve as supports for crowns, which in turn support retention elements for the denture (attachments or joints).
Have a nice day!
