I Have Been Unable To Wear My Partial Denture Due To Gum Recession. I Have No Idea Of Where To Turn To.
Q.
Hello Mark, I wonder if you can advise me. Approximately two years ago I had two dental implants fitted, one either side of the lower jaw to hold a partial denture. I have been unable to wear the denture for quite a while due to really bad gum recession on one side. The dentist who fitted the implants has since been struck off by the Dental council so I have no idea where to turn to? The lower part of the implant is on show by quite a large amount as the gum has gone and it is tender at times but the implant isn’t loose. Also the denture doesn’t lock on to the implants. Many thanks, any advice would be appreciated.

Hello. I would advise that you go and see a very experienced implant dentist who can continue your care. Maintenance of your denture and its eventual replacement over time is to be expected. Ask the dentist about previous examples of similar cases and only continue when you are fully satisfied with the dentist’s abilities. I hope this helps. Regards, Mark.
