It is difficult: Talk to other patients with dentures. Another option is to consider dental implant treatment.

See a Prosthodontist: A prosthodontist is a specialist in denture therapy. 50 million people in this country wear removable appliances in their mouths, and often the anticipation is much worse than the real thing. A prosthodontist is specially trained to help you through the process.

See Prosthodontist: See the Prosthodontist for evaluation and options. You might benefit from talking with some patients successfully wearing an upper denture. Also, you might consider fixed reconstruction on as few as 4 implants (all-on-4). Make the appointment -- you will be glad you did. Good Luck.

Ask for overdenture: A regular denture made to fit an upper jaw usually is stable on its own. However, you can receive an implant-supported denture in either the upper jaw. Ask your dentist if you are a good candidate for "All on 4" design. Good luck.
