I have some movable teeth can I have fixed stable teeth
Q. I have some very movable teeth and I want to know if there is anyway I could use the stable teeth (approx six) to have a bridge fitted or is it better to have them removed and replaced with a full denture as this will probably be inevitable in the future.
A. The first thing that needs to be assessed is whether you have gum disease that is on going. If this is treatable it may be possible to splint all your teeth together to increase there strength as a group of teeth. Your bite would also need to be assessed to make sure that there are no excessive forces causing your teeth to wobble.
If the assessment shows that the teeth are not treatable ( not enough bone left would be the usual reason)then you have 3 possible treatments:
1. denture
2. denture with implants.
3. bridge work with implants.
