Hello All,
I am a 67 year old, M and I have lost most of my teeth. I have recently consulted with a prosthodontist and he has offered 2 options for getting replacements
1) Full upper and lower dentures
2) Full upper and precision attachments and bridge based lower to save my remaining 5 teeth.
I would like to know opinions on which option to go as option 2 needs root canals etc and costs twice the money. I have included an image of my xray to know whether there is any advantage in saving the tooth(given bone density etc)
Looking forward to your thoughts. Thank you so much
