I live in Guam. Please tell me about the treatment process.
Q. I have 2 damaged molars. I currently live in Guam and the dentist here recommended that I get implants. But after seeing your website, I would like to look into getting dentures. I am sure my teeth have many other problems as well.
As for my examination, I was told that the upper tooth corresponding to the lower one that I lost has a cavity and that I will need treatment. In regards to having dentures made, should I have the same dentist working on me now make them? If so, can I have a mold taken of my cavity-ridden biting tooth at the same time that I have a mold taken for dentures? If it is better to have the cavity treated first, I will have it done in Guam, but I really would like to have you examine my teeth. Please tell me about the treatment process.
A. So let's talk about whether you should get implants or dentures.
It is possible to have a mold taken for dentures and a crown at the same time. It depends on the time frame in which you will return to Japan but as for tooth extraction or a root canal, it may be better to receive treatment in Guam as there is the possibility of swelling and pain post-treatment.
So you have 2 damaged molars. The key factor for answering this question is whether or not the nerves remain in your 2 front molars which can serve as a foundation. If you still have nerves in these molars than it is possible to treat you with Riegel telescope dentures. However, if you are missing the nerves in these molars then your teeth will be weakened and it will be necessary to increase the number of teeth used as foundations.
Either way, I would be very happy to hear the whole picture and hopefully I would be able to provide you with a helpful explanation. When you get a chance please make an appointment and come in.
Thank you
