Hello... In my upper jaw I have only two teeth left, teeth 4 and 6 on the right. I would like to know whether I could have an upper denture that does not cover the whole palate, or what you would advise. Thank you and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!

If the other conditions (size and shape of the bony ridges) are sufficient for denture stability, it is also possible in this case to make a denture with a reduced palatal plate. The remaining two teeth are most often prepared (two crowns carrying a precision attachment are made), which contributes substantially to greater stability of the denture. If there are still too few retention elements, we can add at least one implant on the other side of the dental arch. The implant carries a ball attachment that additionally fixes the denture in the desired position.

Have a nice day!
