Dear Sir/Madam,
despite my age, my teeth are in catastrophic condition. Because of my fear of dentists, I now feel there is only one option left — a complete denture. I have finally convinced myself that I have no choice but to seek help as soon as possible. Fortunately I very, very rarely have toothache. Recently, however, I have often had headaches, and I also know that many illnesses supposedly originate from decaying teeth. I would like to know whether you make complete dentures that look natural (so that the teeth are not perfectly straight), and I am also very interested in this: I have never in my life, except for my baby teeth, had white teeth. Do you also make dentures with a natural tooth colour, and of course how much does such a denture cost?
I am also interested in the price of the treatment you recommended to Ms Ksenija:
An edentulous upper jaw can be restored with a denture that leaves the palate uncovered only if the denture is supported (retained) by dental implants. We usually need four implants for retention; they carry ball attachments or are connected with a bar. Matching components in the denture attach to the retentive parts of the implants. The denture can still be removed, which allows good hygiene of the denture itself, and especially of the retentive components and the mucosa (gums) around them. Patient satisfaction with this type of denture is incomparable with conventional treatment.
Such an implant-retained denture would actually be my dream, so I would also like to know the approximate price of such treatment.
Thank you very much and kind regards,
Karin
