A member asked:

Since i only have six upper teeth, would it be a good idea to pull the remaining uppers and go with full denture?

Try to avoid........: Try to avoid full dentures at all costs. They are the worst tooth replacement option. Obviously without actually being able to examine you, i can't give you a proper evaluation. Discuss all your treatment options with a dentist, but try to avoid full dentures. Consider dental implants. It’s well worth the time and cost!

Maybe not: It depends on the location and health of your existing teeth. A treatment plan by your dentist will outline the way to treat.

No way!: Nothing beats your natural teeth provided they are stage and strong.

Hard to say: Where are the teeth located? Are they hurting? Are they even able to be saved? These answers make a big difference as to whether or not you should try to keep them or have them removed. If the teeth are relatively healthy, can be saved, restored properly, and you are willing to invest the time and money to so so, i'd try to keep my teeth as long as possible, especially at your young age.
