My bridge broke! The bridge was located on the upper right side. I have two large teeth in front, then a smaller tooth to right on main front tooth then a three tooth gap followed by my molar. I went to the dentist and he said he recommends a full denture because the condition of my other teeth, although they look ok they all have some kind of issue going on. ( i have fought gum disease my entire life and paid A LOT of money to keep my teeth in my mouth) I ask about a partial just to fill in those three teeth but he says the clasp will have to wrap around my front teeth and be very noticeable. He didnt really seem to want to even discuss a partial. Is there no way to get a partial on the top that it doesnt hook onto the front teeth? I am making an appoint to have this fixed tomorrow and I dont know whether I should just demand the partial or have them all taken out and dentures put in. I am scared to death! I work with the public I talk ALL day long....I am scared people will notice a full denture because it will look so different from what I looked like two days ago....I am also scared of a full piece of plastic on the top of my mouth and I can not afford the permanent denture at this time. (I am saving up and will be able to get one in a year) I have considered a full denture before but I dont like the idea of taking my teeth out. My other teeth arent perfect but atleast look pretty good. I dont know what to do. I want a partial but not if it has to clip around my front teeth. :>( im so stressed about this it is literally making me sick. Thanks for any info...its much much appreciated
