Dental Bone Loss Dentures
I am considering dentures. Can anyone give me advice about where to begin and possible complications if any.?
I am in my late 40′s and have never had good teeth. I have constant toothaches and need expensive procedures done. I was quoted at $37,000 to have my teeth straightened etc. I cannot afford this and do not of course have a dental plan. I am missing a number of teeth all of which are molars and back teeth. I can only chew on one side because there are no teeth on the other side, also I will at times choke on my food because it gets stuck in my teeth and I bite the insides of my lips. Its ridiculous and I probably should have done this a long time ago. Please, if you have any wisdom I would like to hear from you. My daughter thinks its a good idea as she attests that its better to have it done now rather than waiting when I’m older. I want to add that I have major bone loss in my mouth and have hashimotos disease(immune disease).
HELLO,
THERE ARE CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE DENTURES MAY BE NEEDED. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE GET PARTIAL DENTURES AND KEEP SOME TEETH.
WHY?
A COMPLETE UPPER DENTURE ALTERS YOUR SENSE OF TASTE BECAUSE WITH THIS THE ENTIRE UPPER PALATE IS NOW COVERED BY ACRYLIC WHICH HOLDS YOUR FALSE TEETH.
HAVING A COMPLETE LOWER DENTURE MAKES CHEWING FOODS DIFFICULT.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT HAS POOR RETENTION AND IS CONSTANTLY LOOSE.
THE BEST SITUATION CONSIDERING ALL THE TROUBLES YOU’VE HAD IS IMPLANT-RETAINED DENTURES WHERE THE IMPLANTS HOLD THE DENTURES SECURELY.
