Threatened by my dentist

[Jenny0]

Is it right for my dentist to tell me that if I don't let him remove my good bottom wisdom tooth that he will not guarantee my upper screwed on denture teeth?

One photo is not enough. Photo and Xrays of all teeth on that side, pls.

 

[Jenny0]

Are these pictures okay ?

 

[MattKW]

Roughly speaking from those images, the wisdom tooth is overerupted and will interfere with the implant prosthesis. Yes, I'd ask you to have the wisdom tooth removed - it is a liability.

THE THING I AM CONCERN WITH IS ONCE THE BONE IS LOSS FROM REMOVING THE WISDOM TOOTH THAT IT WILL EFFECT THE TOOTH IN FRONT OF IT.
MY WISDOM TOOTH WAS THER BEFORE IN STARTED PUTTING IN THE IMPLANTS AND HE NEW I WANTED TO KEEP ALL MY BUTTOM TEETH. HE HAS PUT A FEW IMPLANTS THAT GO ALL THE WAY UPTO MY CHEEK BONE

No, it will have minimal effect on the adjacent tooth. There is never a need to make an implant prosthesis to go so far back as to occlude with your lower wisdom tooth (tooth 38). The longer you leave your redundant 38 in situ, the greater the risk you will develop decay in it (esp since it is over-erupted), or worse still cause decay in the adjacent tooth.
It is very rare to find people with all their 8s in a good position, functioning well, and well-maintained. The opposing upper 8 (tooth 28) was extracted years ago, so what is the 38 doing except posing a risk?

 

[Jenny0]

It was left years ago because it was good.
Want to thank you so very much for your input.
