A member asked:

Even though periodontitis affects the alveolar ridge, would a patient with that type of loss still be able to wear dentures?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: See your dental practitioner, general dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon for a clinical and radiographic examination, the dentist may require further diagnostic tests such as a dentascan to determine the level of bone and the need for possible bone graft procedures if needed. Always discuss treatment options prior to extractions for optimal results.
