Visitor asks:
Hello!
I am missing teeth number 4 and 5 in the upper jaw; they were recently extracted.
Because the gap is visible when I smile broadly, it bothers me, but I would not like either a bridge or an implant. I would like to know whether there is a removable mini-denture that I could place in the area of the missing teeth when I need it. I work from home, so I do not have frequent contact with clients. I have heard of something called a "frog" denture, but I do not know whether this is what I mean and whether it can be removed so that you wear it only occasionally.
Thank you.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
We can help you by making a removable replacement (a small temporary denture, locally called a "frog"). This type of replacement is intended for temporary restorations, but at your request you can also wear it for a longer period. It is not recommended as a permanent replacement because it loads the supporting teeth incorrectly.
Have a nice day!
