Hi everyone. After years of thinking about the state of my teeth the moment I wake up until the moment I go to sleep I've decided I have had enough and have finally plucked up the courage to email several dentists to see if I can find one that can help me.
I have a partial upper denture which is failing because it is clasped to teeth that are crumbling. I cant eat anymore except for things like pasta and soup. I can't sleep very well as i'm up all night worrying. I am now too scared to take out the denture because i'm convinced it will break on removal or that my teeth will and I wont get it back in. Things are so bad right now that I actually want treatment which is a first for me.
The thing I want most is the all on 4 treatment but I have only saved about half of what I need ( and that's at the cheapest place I can find). Instead I am aiming for extraction of the crumbling teeth and a new upper denture. My problem is that i'm terrified of being without teeth whilst the new denture is being made.
I have found a dentist that makes same day dentures on site and will also deal with the extractions. I am praying they will see me and start treatment without an initial assessment.... they are so far away that I would be unable to travel for an assessment and then later to start treatment. Also I know they would insist on removing my denture at the assessment and I would be left toothless until the next appointment.
Would appreciate any support guys. I have felt so alone for years.
