Question:
I have an upper Valplast partial that I am having pain with on my upper right side. I was told that is because the partial rocks when I chew.

I was told that this is a gum supported partial and was recommended to have a tooth support partial. The Vitallium 2000 that grooves would be made in the back of my teeth for support. Have you heard of this and can it damage and weaken my few remaining teeth?

I have only 5 teeth left on top and do not want to make them loose and hurt with support. Please any info would help. ...Visitor from OH

Answer:
A Vitallium partial is better than a Valplast partial. Your only other choice is fixed bridgework or implants.
