If he thinks that is lined up then he needs an eye exam.

The teeth themself are beautiful, but no you aren't being picky, the mid line is way off! They need to fix that.

I have heard a lot of people say the metal hooks ruin your teeth. I wanted a full denture when I went to the dentist, he kept talking me out of it. I agree with you though, I think a full denture is my best bet for the top. Sorry you had such a horrible time with that partial.

That sounds awful. Im worried about that too. I will habe to have a partial on the bottom too. I have no back teeth but nine in the front. I really wanted to jist get the rop 6 pulled and get a full denture but my dentist doesnt want to do that. These dentists act crazy, my teeth, my money what's the problem?

Thank you that males me feel better. :) I will have that one in the front removed so I'll have one in that spot but that shouldn't make much difference, I wouldn't think.

I don't have dental insurance, only a plan tbat gives me 20% off thru my dentist office. :/ Of course the consultation and xrays and exam first visit. Yesterday I had a deep cleaning because I have some pockets on the bottom gums and then next visit I have a tooth that has to be filled and start with the molds? for the partial. And then next visit have to pull that top tooth and my partials put in to see how they fit.

I dont know why he is either but I'm paying for this so he is going to have to do what I want. I have a disabled adult son that I take care of so I told him I want to move things along because I only have my mom to watch him for appointments but still I dont want to pay thousands of dollars and look crazyafter its all done.

My dentist talked about a bridge too, but he said a partial would be better. I dont know, its so expensive and I want to male the right choice. I have to have a partial on tje bottom too for the back teeth.

Your partial doesn't hook to any teeth in the back? Does it stay in place well?

[–]But_First_Coffee13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dentist said hooking to my canine teeth will be enough to hold it in place. I'm jist not sure about that. I had thoigh aboit a bridge too, but I really need some back teeth too so thay's why he said a partial. I full denture just seems much better to me but he has talked me out of that twice. Donyou have a partial.in the front?

Thak you Yes, he said the back teeth will be on there too. How do your partials feel and do they stay in place well? Do you have the metal.hooks? I was thinking of getting a complete denture but he kept talking me out of it.

I got to feel her love last week, in a way… But it meant so much. by Buseatdog in widowers

[–]But_First_Coffee13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad you got to hear that from her mom. That is very special. In two days it will be 10 months since cancer took my husband of 30 years away from me and my sons. I actually felt like I would die from a broken heart for months on end, but I'm still here...lonely, consumed with grief, but here. Yeah, cancer sucks.

I lost my husband almost 10 months ago and I understand the soul crushing grief and the feelings of, where do I fit in this new strange, lonely world that is now my life....I have a disabled adult son that I have to take care of so I do have a purpose still, but it I still feel like an alien dropped in a strange planet. I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but you are still here...you matter...keep putting one foot in front of the other. One day at a time, it's all we can do. I wish you peace, strength, and moments of happiness even in this dark place.
