Should I opt for partial dentire or metal/ plastic one?
Q. I have had a metal partial the last five years that I’ve had to use a partial cement in order to keep it secure in my mouth. Next month I am having more teeth pulled and a new partial made. The only teeth I will have will be my two front teeth on top. I’ve been advised that a metal clasp around those front teeth will result in the teeth shifting. I am so tired of having to re-cement during the day because chewing something has broken the seal loose. I am considering the flexible partial denture and would like some advice and opinions on the flexible partial vs the metal/plastic one I have now. Any advice and opinion would be greatly appreciated.,
A. In these situations, provided there is good bone support around your 2 front teeth, I would crown and join the remaining teeth placing precision attachments at the back of them to hold a partial denture in place.
i’v lost 2 front bottom teeth and 2 more will fall out when i get my teeth cleaned,i have no dentures right now.and my teeth are scaddering around .i’m planning on getting a partical.but where i live every denture place is telling me i cant use plastic on the bottom,but i called in the city and they told me alot of ppl do wear plastic on the bottom.i’m so confused and i do feel yuky about the way my teeth are looking.which do you think would be better plastic or flex? i dont have much money plastic is the cheapest it’s $500.00 and flex is $850.00 plz help me.
