I Need Info on Dental Work Please!?

i'm thinking about getting upper partial dentures. i can't afford anything else. can you get straight teeth or do you have to have copies of your own? also, does the metal show when you smile? does the gum part look real? i'm only 25 and i'm doing this mostly for cosmetic reasons, so i need them to look really good. i didn't take care of my teeth as an early teen and i'm paying for it now :( i have an uneven gumline and crooked teeth so i'm wondering if that will be fixed with the denture? thanks for any info!

Suggestion:

Ask for a " wax workup" …its an extra step but you can see then how the teeth will be placed…color ect. And yes they will make them straight and if they use a good lab they will make the gums look very real. There may be small metal hooks, they hook onto your remaining teeth but its rare to see when you smile. Again the wax work up will allow you to see what you will get before its processed allowing you to make any changes. Good luck.

Well….

1.- The partial denture might cost $500 US Dollars.
2.- It will be hard to get used to wearing it because it feels like you have a big piece of plastic inside so you can imagine how unconfortable it is.
3.- Every 6 years you need to repair or change the partial.
4.- There are very few people that might find you atractive being toothless, I know some.
5.- you will have a lisp because it affects your speach.
6.- It might fall out if you are not carefull
7.- It is not the end of the world you will eventually get used to it and eliminate the lisp.

Which and how many teeth do you want to replace with the partial ?

I know an excellent dentist that is cheap. My teeth are in very good shape because of him.

Good luck pretty girl you will be fine, dont worry.
