Tooth extraction periodontal disease

[Steph78]

Hi, I have periodontal disease. My gums are receding worse around front bottom four teeth. The roots are showing. I can't afford gum graft. Can I just get those four teeth extracted and get a bridge or a partial?

How,

Naturally it all depends on your situation and the dentist’s skills and experience.
The most important thing is to address the primary problem which is the gum health.
If your teeth are too lose there might a couple of options: such as binding the teeth together with a wire, relieving the tooth from forces and maybe even extracting them and putting something instead.
Whatever you and your dentist agree upon, as I said above, the periodontal situation has to stabilize, otherwise the dental treatment won’t last for long.
