I would definitely need small cavities taken care of prior to this and maybe a dental implant for a missing lower tooth. Is this even a possibility? I am really afraid to get dentures.
Answer: More photos needed and / or an in-person consultation. Without a thorough exam or some photos at the very least, it would be impossible to advise you as to the best possible treatment options.Best of luck.James Asaf, DDS

Answer: Dentures I am not sure about the condition of your teeth, but I do know that with all the advancements in dentistry, it's not likely that you need dentures. I actually don't recommend dentures at all. I recommend that if you need teeth extracted, you can place implants in those areas. Even if you just place a few implants and have bridges placed, that is a much better option than having dentures. Unfortunately if you have a lot of decay and periodontal disease, veneers are probably not the best option for you. I have not yet seen your x rays or completed an exam, but I can tell you that I would test out all other options before getting dentures. Your dentist may have recommended dentures to save you money, but for having a better quality of life, I think you should try to have implants placed. I would consult several dentists, and periodontist prior to any treatment.

Answer: Gglowe It would be impossible to give you any kind of opinion about your proposed treatment without a lot more information including X-ray films. If you have concerns about your treatment discuss them with your dentist. If that does not help then I would recommend you see another dentist for a second opinion. Good luck!
