A member asked:

All my teeth have been removed now the front 6 are left what can i expect? are they very painful to remove ? the eye teeth are there too

Not painful but: Why all need to be pulled out? Any good teeth can be left and used as abutments to support removable or fixed prosthetic replacement to your lost dentition

Sorry to hear that: All teeth can be removed without any pain with sufficient local anesthesia and in the hands of a competent dentist. You can expect to no longer eat in the manner that you once were able to with a full set of healthy teeth. If i were in your place, i would see a prosthodontist for restorative treatment options and consider implant retained teeth, if at all possible, for the best replacement option.

Complete dentures : Also known as false teeth, are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth; they are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues and/or dental implants. If you have a periodontal disease and can't keep your remaining teeth, you deserve a teeth replacement to improve your health. Rec.:see a dentist for diagnosis and treatment. Take care.
