Is it possible to have bone grafting around my own teeth to save having dentures fitted?
Q. I am 60 and have two wobbly teeth, as luck would have it they are the top two at the front. My dentist wants to remove and replace with a denture, but I have got quite attached to them! He tells me the bone density is not enough to hold implants. Can I have bone grafting around my own teeth to save them?,
A. No you can’t graft around the existing teeth, this won’t work. You could have the teeth removed and the bone rebuilt with a graft. Implants could then be used to hold new fixed teeth in place.
My father has bad gum disease, has only 13 teeth left and the gum density is very thin !!
He has tried two sets of partial dentures but could not take the pain from the partial dentures.
Can his gums hold the pressure of full dentures and how painful will the full dentures on his bad gums?
We are getting different informations from dentists….
