Case Description
I have worn partial upper front dentures for more than 30 years and have gone changing it to about 5 dentures. I hate wearing it but afraid of getting implants. Bridge was an option I thought of considering. My previous dentist said it was not a good idea to consider the bridge as my remaining tooth might not be strong enough anymore. I am 54 years old now. I have been always so unhappy w/ my removable partial as it slurs my speech and I cannot pronounce the words properly. Has anyone improved making dentures? such as no metals, less palate and more natural fit? Will invisaline plate or mold filled w/ 5 non invisible front tooth work for me? Any one w/ advanced technology for dentrure wearer?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
