Hello,
Would like to ask a dentist or anyone with experience about this.
I just had my upper last molar on the left extracted due to badly decayed filling. Tooth #15 is gone. Dentist said there may not even be enough bone structure for an implant, my teeth are already crowded, I can live without it.
Now on the bottom right I need to have #31 extracted due to bad filling and bad decay. Also tooth #30 needs a possible root canal but with the way my teeth are weak I'm considering extracting it as well if the dentist agrees.
I am missing all wisdom teeth since my 20's.
Can I survive long term without those 3 molars? I would maybe consider implants in the future but right now it's not financially possible. I don't really think I could gte along with partial dentures.....
I know there is a risk of the upper teeth moving down slowly over time but would implants prevent this if it started happening?
