Instant Teeth?

We had a patient who last saw us 7 years ago.

During this last 7 years, she did not get her gum disease (periodontitis) treated, which resulted in 9 of her teeth being very shaky in her mouth. She remembered that when we did her last denture for her, we had the denture ready before we extracted her teeth. By doing it that way, she did not have to suffer the embarrassment of going without her teeth.

She went to a dentist near her home and she was told that having the dentures ready before extracting her teeth was not possible. So she decided to return to us to have her dental problem resolved.

Unfortunately, this time, instead of having all her teeth done, she only wanted to have her four front teeth done despite us advising her otherwise. This means that when the other 5 teeth need to be removed, she would need to redo her dentures again.

Well, we can only do what our patients allow us to do and nothing more.
