Lots of variables: This sounds like a complex case with a number of possible answers. I recommend you sit down and discuss alternatives with your dentist. If you're not happy with the answer(s), he or she should be happy to send you on for another opinion. Don't be hasty; do get enough information before making the decision about how to proceed as it can make a big difference in your oral & systemic health.

There are possibilit: The possibilities depend on the space between the upper and lower jaw and available teeth to anchor the rpd (removable partial denture). Find a good prosthdontist (dental specialist) who specilizes in this type of difficult situation.
