How much is it usually to pull all my teeth and get dentures?

Hi, I was in a bicycle accident when I was 7 and lost my two front teeth. I have had a flipper since then. Then when I was about 14 I had to have 3 root canals done on my two teeth right next to the flipper and one molar. I take good care of my teeth but they are super soft and my dentist recommened getting a bridge because one of the root canals now needs to be extracted...so that will be 3 teeth I'm missing in the front and then I will still have 2 root canals. My teeth are always in constant pain and are EXTREMELY sensitive. I just want to pull them all and get dentures but I don't know how much it would cost...or if its the right thing to do. I'm sick of dealing with all of this and I'm only 25.





Anyone have any ideas or suggestions???

Getting dentures does NOT necessarily reduce pain. Dentures make it difficult for you to eat certain foods, and it's easier to trap food in the crevices causing bad breath if you don't immediately brush your teeth after each meal. You are only 25, I would try to keep as many teeth as possible because once you pull your adult teeth out, they will never grow back. Just think it through, you dont want to live for the rest of your life w/ dentures if you don't need them.





Also, I would recommend venures if you can afford it. Look at your insurance plan.





Best of luck to you!
Reply:Talk to your dentist about adult sealant. Most insurance will not pay for it but the benefits of saving your own teeth make it worth it. If you have your teeth extracted, you will eventually suffer permanent bone loss - bone resorption - in both jaws, and your dentures will eventually have nothing to support them. Also, without your upper teeth, your lips will pull in, and you will develop premature wrinkles around your mouth.
Reply:SOMETIMES THIS A WISE OPTION, BUT IF YOU CAN SAVE SOME TEETH AND HAVE PARTIAL DENTURES INSTEAD, THIS IS A BETTER CHOICE.


THE WISEST CHOICE, BUT MOST EXPENSIVE IS IMPLANTS.
