.....I'm needing some advice. I have had issues with my jawbones (4 surgeries)and teeth all my adult life. I have lost so many teeth to breakage and cracks that I'm being forced to do something. I know zero about dentures or partials. I do know my lab broke and chipped 5 of my teeth recently and I have to look into some kind of replacement.
1st; since my insurance will pay some toward accidental damage ,and we have dental coverage thru my wife's work, and the scenario with my lab head-butting me was accidental, should I seek the services of my dentist or a lab that specializes in dentures/partials? I've read some reviews of horror stories some folks have had with the labs but they have to be less expensive than going thru my regular dentist. I'm sure either way I will still be out-of-pocket for a portion.
2nd; is it possible to only have an upper denture and my bottom teeth? All my surgeries have been on upper jawbone areas. This is really starting to be an issue of embarrassment since I deal with the public so much.
Anybody who has had similar issues or has done business with any office in the western end of the state, I would love to hear from you here or on PM.
Thanks.
