Is dentures a best option for my sensitive teeth

Q. I have gum disease and tomorrow I am having yet another tooth taken out from the top this will only leave 7 teeth, no back teeth. It is difficult to eat meat now and I cannot bear my teeth to be cleaned as they are so sensitive. I feel my only option now is to have the 7 teeth removed and wear a top denture. I do have a phobia about the Dentist and at 50 now it will never improve. My Dentist has now realised that I cannot put up with the pain of them being cleaned and would need each tooth to be numbed. Do you think my best option is to go for a top denture?

A. A top denture supported by dental implants

I am doing some research. I am almost 50 and have spent much large amounts of money trying to kee my teeth. I have always had some pain, however, recently I have been experiencing pain and sensitivity and have decided that dentures might make my life easier. I would like to have full flexible dentures is that possible. I currently have one upper partical and one lower partical.

A Prosthodontist is a specialist dentist that is an expert in reconstructing the mouth and will give you the best advice about how to replace missing teeth. Dental implants may be your best option. Try visiting someone with the experience and qualifications

Hi there, I’m a bike lover from Australia. I have been searching all day for an answer but could not find one. So i’ll ask here. So the other day I was at my local skate park on my BMX and I dropped in and went over the handle bars and blacked out. I woke up and my two front teeth came out clean (like they had been surgically removed). It was around 1hour and 30 minutes until they put them back in. So i’m assuming the roots and nerves would have started to die. They put some blue glue on my teeth to keep it in place. The next morning we went to an Orthodontist and got braces in hope to try and let it mould its way back to the bone. What do you think the chance of keeping my teeth are?
