Hi, on 04-11-2011, I am scheduled to have a sinus lift bone graft on upper for lack of bone desity from past dentures. They are then after/during healing of bone graft (using human cadaver bone) to start 4 on 1 implants upper & lower. Here is my question. The integrity of my ‘Full Mouth’ dentures I have now are in need of replacement. The dentist wants to use the old dentures & keep them ‘going’ until all the bone graft & bottom-top (?) implants are placed. My concern is not only financial, but visual appearance. I do not know what the new dentures would look like. To me it makes more sence to get the bone graph, then to have new needed full dentures made (even if temporary until permanent ones are made). Then to have the implants placed. If this is done I will know how to go about planning for the expiture of having all this done without having any insurance to rely on. I am spending all my savings on this & making financial choices to make this happen. I will be 54 in Sept 2011, physically healthy & weight propotioned, if that even matters & right now on a fixed income. Hightlight my question. I have had these unfittly dentures for over 9 years. They are attractive, but have already broke in half on the bottom & I had to have a front tooth reglued on top because it fell out (eating a soft meal). Performed by a dentist. The denist has been putting tempory lining in to keep them fitted for now, they are very loose./ Another worry is more bone loss while waiting. I need someone impartial to help me understand why the dentist & perio dentist are not on the same page with this. The perio doctor said he would want new dentures if it were him. I asked him what he would want if it were him. Also if something goes wrong I will atleast have a set of complete good dentures until a solution can be resolved. My apologies for the length of this question, but I am sure I am not the only one in desperate need for a somewhat optional answer. You would indeed be of service to many for any answer to my ignorance in this & lack of knowledge with an answer/ question in this circumstance… Desperate in Midwest USA. and thank you for any help for me, in making the best decision I can.
