karlunity Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Is she getting dentures? FC. We don't know and that is part of the problem. This started as a loose upper bridge. So she went in to have it re-glued. Well, the good doctor said "no. but we can do some surgery remove the bad teeth and give you a new partial." So back she goes a week later. Another dentist, pulls the teeth, which shatter and have to be removed bit by bit and does the surgery. Her original doctor,"left to open his own office in the mid-West." Anyway, the new dentist, tells her that she may have to have "all of her teeth out as she does not think that a partial would be practical. Then we get ANOTHER doctor as that one left as well and he thinks a partial IS possible. We have been back several times as bits of tooth and bone keep pushing out and have to be re extracted. They gave her a temporary partial which does not fit well and we are to see the head dentist for a final opinion in August as you have to wait a month for the gums to heal. This would scare hell out of me as I am afraid of dentists.. she is just annoyed. Take care Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I used to make teeth in the A.F., so I know what you are talking about. That's a tough situation. I would go with a younger dentist, who is schooled in the newest techniques, and seriously consider his opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
