When dentist replace teeth, & you have SOME lower, can they do partials on a few, is it true that as long as say you have 2 on Each side, they can PERMANTLY connect a partial on the bottom...Is there anything I can get that I could leave on? and connect to, my front teeth are REal worn down., on the right side I have a OLD bridge like 6 teeth, on the LEFT side the bridge came out the span on this one is about 6 teeth also., Yea I am pretty confused on what to do here, the frustration at times is to get the bottoms pulled with the exception of the 2 left & 2 right side bottom...YET they say keeping SOME teeth are good. In essence my dr butchered the case, tell me ALSO about adjusting the bite, what do you all think sb done with this one? its very hard eating only 1 side...

I think that sometimes a fixed bridge can go where there is one on each side (if it is strong enough to hold). I may be wrong. I think that some dentists may like to go 1 behind and 2 in front of the missing teeth. Ok...I am not an expert but what does the dentist say?

Fixed means it gets cemented in and doesn't come out. I am in need of these also but I cant afford them. Ridiculous how costly dental work is and how little our insurance pays.

Good luck.
