Asked By:bonnybo1924 in Scotland, United Kingdom

Hi the two metal inserts that were inside my bottom denture have both come away and Im left with 2 holes, nothing for the implants to click on to. Can I use denture fixer in the holes, bite teeth so I'm left with an area where my implant can go into without rattling? thankyou

Would I be a good candidate for veneers? (photos)
Oğuzhan Sunar, DDS - Account Suspended says:

As far as I observe from the images, your frontal teeths misalignment could fix without orthodontics treatment. Your teeths could be getting cut and then veneers will cover your existing tooths. The material could be laminate or zirconia depending on your budget or choice.
