Question from Sally
My teeth are in very bad shape. Several dentists have told me that my teeth must be taken out and replaced with dentures. I don’t want dentures that come out. Is there any way to get teeth that don’t come in and out?
Dr. Devoll’s Response
Sally, it sounds like you will need to consider having permanent teeth attached using dental implants. We call this All-On-4. In most cases we can remove the bad teeth and replace them with new teeth. The new teeth will be fixed in place with dental implants and are not removable like a typical denture.
