Tooth opinion
Can someone suggest alternative option other then cast partial denture as the clip irritates him for my 80 yr old grandfather for upper tooth? My dentist recommends denture due to his age and also he is cardiac patient. The problem is in upper tooth where right side bridge is now old as was done in 2002. So denture is recommended as per his health conditon and age. I want to know any other attachment is possible as this denture irritates him. Gums are strong so full denture is not recommended. Kindly suggest a option which may fit in tooth 24/7. ty

With the help of implants and fixed or partially fixed prosthesis can be given.

Cardiovasular Disease should not be a problem for Implants if consent is given by the Physician.

In my opinion dental implants would be an ideal option.
We need to get opg done -( full mouth radiograph ).
If ideal bone support is present, then he can go for implant supported denture. That would be a fixed treatment option.
