Considering having dentures by pulling teeth. Never taken care. Time taken to fix it?
Patient: I m considering having all of my teeth pulled out and having dentures at the age of 27 - I ve not taken care of my teeth and i m incredibly embarrassed by them so i guess i am guilty of wanting a quick fix . I don t know anything about this procedure and all i read about continually are people who spend thousands having repair work just to end up having this done anyway. I guess to summarize my query i d like a ball park figure of what it costs and how long it takes. Sorry if this seems abrupt i ve never even asked anybody about this before. Thanks in advance for any reply. Doctor: HELLO,  aS you said,you are at the age of 27 now,usually at a younger age of this,dentures are not indicated. You have not mentioned why you need to get dentures?are they mobile?  iF your teeth are extremely mobile,we can think of dentures after extracting entire teeth. Or else,deep scaling and root planning is indicated. Mobile teeth can be fixed using splinting with wires. Take complete course of antibiotics. Maintain good oral hygiene.
