Opinion on LOWER teeth - Dental Health Message Board

Hello...I have almost all teeth on the bottom of my mouth crowned. Exception being the front 4...Well the RT side bridge has been some time, the front teeth are REAL worn down & the LEFT bridge is totally out. THis would span like 6 teeth.

My questions are two fold...Given the front teeth so wore, is there any way I could get HEIGHT on these? secondly, would you all think the left side bridge is worth replacing., I have two teeth near the front which too dont have allot to work with...One dentist said they would have to be pulled..Yet another doctor said he could do the bridge..I dont have a wealth of money..I am 51 & yet people say its best to keep your original teeth., its real difficult eating on only one side...TY..

i am no expert but couldn't crowns be put on the worn teeth? also it is true to keep what you can. i have 2 paritals and i hate them. i liked my old upper partial and this is the first time i have a lower. so keep them if you can. God bless
