What can I have to replace partial denture?
Q. I am 34 years old and when i was 19 my boyfriend was playing around with a gun and it accidentally went off in my mouth and shot 4 of my teeth out…..at the time they thought it was agood idea to give me implants after the procedure was done they said it wasnt a good idea because i had lost so much bone and gum so i have been living with a partial for 16 years. It is miserable and humiliating and I have not smiled in a photo since i was 19 i know that it is going to be expensive but if i just know in my head that SOMETHING can be done would make me feel better. I would save for it for the next 15 years if i have to. Its caused relationship problems, me being insecure and total humiliation……please tell me what i can do besides these ugly embarrasing partials my dentist has always told me there is nothing i can do and i refuse to believe that with todays technology there has to be something. Please help me im desperate>,
A. Thanks for your enquiry, it may be possible that you could have a bone graft, which once integrated would allow you to have implants placed and subsequently a fixed bridge restoration. The bone graft can be done using an artificial bone. I would recommend that you attend a dental implant clinical to gain a professional opinion on this. If you would like to arrange a free intial consultation with myself, please do not hesitate to contact me via our website www.kissdental.co.uk Kindest Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki
