Bone Graft for a Maxillary Partial? I've been having problems with my bridge. My dentist wants to put in an implant but it's very costly. The other alternative is a partial but he says that he has to do a bone replacement graft first. I got a second opinion from another dentist who says a bone replacement graft is not necessary for a partial. I am confused. ..Visitor from FL (answer)
Partials for lower teeth: Can partials be made for lower left side of mouth if I have no teeth on my bottom left side? I am having the molar removed and the 2 teeth in front of the molar. That is a total of 3 teeth being extracted. If I have no teeth in the back how does the partial fit? What does it attach to? ..Visitor from OH (answer)
Partials stop tooth movement? I have had my 3 back teeth removed on my lower jaw. I have a consult with my dentist in 8 weeks. Is it necessary to have a temporary partial denture put in to prevent the teeth from moving in my mouth? ..Visitor from MA (answer)
Hard to Talk and Eat - Loose Ugly Partial: I have been fitted with a lower partial (4 back teeth each side). It is impossible to eat or chew because it comes out immediately. It is extremely difficult to talk. The denture is rigid with a metal bar joining the two side together. Also the appearance is horrific. Two large metal clasps over the teeth at the front which looks as though I am wearing braces. I feel that because the partial is so rigid, i will never be able to wear it. Can nothing be done about this and the appearance? I am just heartbroken. My dentist tells me that this is all that can be done. He says that the metal clasps are all that is available. .....Visitor from Toronto Canada (answer)
Partial Plate causes loose teeth? I have had an upper partial plate for fifty years, which is anchored to my wisdom teeth. Now the wisdom teeth are loose and I know at this stage I may lose them. Is there anything that can be done to retain the upper wisdom teeth, and what caused those teeth to become loose? My dentist has never intimated to me that I had any kind of problem to cause this. .....Visitor from OH (answer)
Dentures to replace bad Partials? I had a partial put in many many years ago and now they have fallen. I am a single Mom at 47 years of age and I don't know what to do. I have used crazy glue to glue the partial back in my gums but as you probably are aware, that does not last. This is also affecting my speech. I want to know what you suggest. I have no molars and very few teeth left. Should I go for Dentures? ....Visitor from IL (answer)
Upper partial causes pain and swelling: My new upper partial has caused pain and swelling to the roof of my mouth where the metal crossbar comes in contact. Can the partial be adjusted or will my mouth adjust in time? ....Visitor from NY (answer)
Rework the Valplast partial? I recently got a Valplast lower partial, and one of the teeth was too short and creates a small gap in my smile. Can the Valplast partial be reworked to change that one tooth for a better fitting tooth? ....Visitor from IL (answer)
Partials: I used to smile, but not anymore. When I do smile I hold my head down because of the glittering metal from my partial. Can't they make partials without the silver metal? ....Visitor from IL (answer)
Food under partial plate: Everytime I eat I get a lot of food under my partial plate. My dentist says this is normal. It is very uncomfortable. I have spent 20 thousand dollars on my teeth and I am very uncomfortable. Is it me? He says I have to live with it and go wash them everytime I eat. My eye tooth is so large compared to the rest of my teeth. He does not want to hear any of this. He just ignores me and sends his assistants to file down. I would really like your opinion. If it can be fixed I will try to. ....Visitor from NY (answer)
Lower Partial: Patient has only one lower canine remaining, #27 opposing upper porcelain bridge work. Would a partial be indicated or better to extract remaining tooth and have a full denture for stability? ....Visitor from MO (answer)
