Want lower molar, front lower teeth replacement. Is there any non-invasive, non-surgical method of replacement?
Patient: i have my I lower molar of both side and front lower teeth except canines missing since 1 year when i got them extracted due to severe caries. i showed to may nearby dentist for the replacement but either they suggested me for the fixed or implant treatment. but i dont want any invasive procedure. when think of removable, its very cumbersome to adapt and adjust that initially. me confused, is there any other option available apart from this becoz i really need immediate replacement that too non invasive and non surgical. plz help Doctor: Hi The number of missing teeth are more than what would be advised for a fixed partial denture. ideally implants would be the best solution for your problem. with newer techniques the implants are placed witha simple punch cut in which only the spots where implants have to be placed is punched out. Extraction on the other hand is a much bigger and traumatic procedure than this.  Still if you do not want implans then you have only 2 options: flexible dentures and cast partial dentures. Flexible dentures are easy to adjust but cast partials are more stable and better for the health of the remaining teeth in the long run.  Regards
