My dentist told me i need dentures, and i really don't want to do this. can i get a second opinion?

Absolutely : You may wish to consult a prosthodontist. We are specialist in helping patient deal with the challenges of adjusting to complete denture. Our advanced training and experience may give you deeper insight in determining exactly how you can expect to function over your lifetime. At age 33 please consider dental implants if possible.

Of course you can: You will need to see someone to get that 2nd opinion. They will need to see your teeth and your x-rays to make that determination. I would recommend you see a prosthodontist in your area--he or she is a specialist in complex restorative dentistry and if you do really need a denture a prosthodontist would be the best person to make it. Prosthodontics is one of the 9 specialties in dentistry.

Of course: See a specialist in this -- a Prosthodontist. They can give you all the options and the reasons for them. Good luck.

Definitely, yes: In many cases, seeking a second opinion is not only warranted, but necessary. Unless your disease is life threatening and requires emergency care, it is never a bad idea to seek a second opinion. Getting a second opinion helps you feel more confident about your diagnosis and treatment plan.
