Dear Sir/Madam!
In the upper jaw I have a bridge made as follows: upper left first molar crowned, second premolar attached, first premolar crowned, canine, lateral incisor and central incisor crowned. The right central incisor is crowned, the lateral incisor is crowned but has decayed underneath the crown, the canine is attached, the first premolar is crowned but poor, and the second premolar is attached. I would like to ask whether, assuming the right lateral incisor and first premolar need to be removed, you could make me a partial upper denture without a palate. I do not know whether an implant is an option because I am a smoker. I would also like to know the price.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!

A palate-free denture can be simple; in that case the retentive element is a clasp (a small hook that may be visible). The price of the product is EUR 900. If we make a better version of the product you are asking about, instead of a clasp the retentive element is an attachment or joint, which must be supported by at least two connected crowns on the teeth that are last in the row (both central incisors). Price of the product:
- EUR 900 (denture)
- EUR 210 (metal-ceramic crown) X 2 = EUR 420
- EUR 250 (attachment or joint)
The product is more stable, and its appearance is not affected by a metal clasp.
Implants are certainly a solution that provides a fixed condition and a completely free palate. Whether you are suitable for the procedure despite smoking could be determined after a clinical examination and X-ray.

Have a nice day!
