Q.
I will soon be getting a partial upper denture. At first we had planned on keeping my front 7 teeth. I was looking forward to getting them capped. Especially front 2. Now I was told I can only keep 5 and one of my front teeth has to be extracted. A couple of questions. #1 What work should be done first the extractions or putting the crowns on teeth I will be keeping. Then do the extractions? #2 If they have to remove one of my front teeth why not take them both and put in implants. Then the partial could attach to them. If they can only save 5 teeth and want to crown them wouldnt it be better to have them leave 2 to crown and get 2 implants in front. I think it seem strange to have one front tooth attached to a partial and one capped dont you? Thanks..
