Are there any other alternatives to partial dentures?

Monday, July 19th, 2010
Q.
Hi, my wife has gradually been losing teeth on her top and bottom palate for a number of years. She has finally been told by her dentist that she will have to lose another tooth as is broken. He has also told her that she will ned a partial denture on both her top and botton palate holding bewteen 4 and 6 teeth each. She has tried this before but is unable to wear a denture supplied by the nhs as she ends up gagging. I wonder what her options are. Can she get a different type of denture, what about implants or bridge work. It would be posible to find some funds to this privately if we could find the best solution.,

Would mid-range dentures last okay?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Q.
I am sponsoring a 21 year old girl from Tanzania for 4 months. She is in pain and a dentist said she has little or no enamel on all teeth ie. she needs crowns on all, has multiple cavities and cracks or will need dentures. Since once she returns, there will be no dental care, my concern is that teeth can decay under crowns and eventually be worthless. Would dentures be best? Since we are fundraising and I will be doing most of the bill unexpectedly, is there a huge difference in price? I don’t want low end dentures as this is her only shot, but I can’t afford artistically done high end ones either. So would mid range dentures last? Many thanks and blessings.,
A.
I’m sure they will last ok
