How can I replace three missing front teeth?

Question

Hi doctor,

I wanted to ask if it is possible to use a full upper denture to cover my three missing front teeth. I only have one front tooth left and the other teeth in the back on both sides. Or should I try a different denture? Just wanted to know your opinion on this.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Full dentures are used to replace the whole lot of teeth when absent. In your case, as you have mentioned that you have only one front tooth left, it is much easier to replace only those lost teeth. So, the options here areremovable partial dentures. Here, you get regular or Valplast to choose from. Valplast is much more flexible than the regular ones.

A fixed partial denture, which is nothing but a set of crowns to replace your lost teeth with support on either side from your original back teeth. The options with the material and cost here are ceramic and zirconia, where zirconia is much more natural-looking than ceramic. Dental implants replacing lost teeth with tiny metal screws followed by fixing the ceramic caps or crowns. Might be expensive for multiple teeth and takes time.
