Teeth replacement
Hello, my mother's upper jaw has 4 missing teeth on the left upper jaw and 2 missing teeth on the right upper jaw. She doesn't want to go for a bridge replacement nor the fixed one as it was very much painful for her to bear. She asked me to find out if some temporary sort of replacement could be possible for her. Please suggest.

Removable partial dentures indicated in your case.. But nothing like fixed teeth with implants.

I would suggest, you should go for fixed teeth, there will not be any pain complain. Fixed te teeth are more comfortable n more efficient. If any how she wants removable then you can go for flexible partial dentures, they are more comfortable then others.
For exact treatment suggestions, we need some more investigations including clinical examination and some clinical pictures of her. Without seeing the position of remaining teeth, no dentist can suggest exact treatment plan. However you can convince her for fixed teeth if she can, that's my opinion.

Flexible removable denture is the best option, with no metal clasps and precise fit, she should find it comfortable. But there is always an option of an implant latter if required.

Go for removable partial denture if fixed bridge is not required. All this depends on the present condition of adjacent tooth for the best treatment outcome.

First condition of the teeth has to be checked to come to any conclusion. But dentures are the only option left if your mother is not willing for any of the implants or bridge options.

It is difficult to finalize the treatment without seeing the condition of other teeth. However if patient is not willing for bridge or implant then removable flexible valplast dentures are an option but it depends on condition of teeth present
