Message: [QUOTE="Rosa, post: 121422, member: 8271"] Hello and thank you MattKW, I should've explained more but was afraid to make my post longer. I have by now 2-month old x-rays of my own teeth (only 8 front lower which my great dentist (who also made my dentures) kept alive by only one entire crown at the same time). I'm not familiar with "photos of your mouth, and of the inner surface of your denture", are these for implants? I meant the 2 male attachments at each end of my lower partial which clip into my lower teeth receivers. No implants as my gums were (are) too thin and shrinking rapidly. Also thank you for the well clarified list of the different areas of dentistry! My dentist wasn't a prosthodontist as far as I knew, but made my great dentures 7 (probably 8 years ago by now) but unfortunately for me, retired to teach at NYU. I must remember the next one must be a little younger to start with... ;) My present professional who's causing me all this aggravation, is a prosthodontist according to his diplomas on the wall, and whom I chose because I learned prosthodontists make, or at least prepare to make, dentures. He has his own lab in his office in care of his partner (who I don't know whether he's a prosthetist to do lab work). Now that I have the dental professionals well defined thanks to you, I wonder whether I wouldn't be better off with a prosthetist? I don't know what to do but I stopped going to my prosthodontist and I'm afraid to have anyone now touch my dentures...Oh God what to do... :( Thanks so much again! P.S. Are you a prosthodontist or a prosthetist and in NYC by chance? What shall I do??? [/QUOTE]
