Case Description
My mom has a full upper denture which she has no problems with, but her lower partial has been something that has made her very depressed for at least a year now. The problem is that the wires of the partial are attached to her two lower eye teeth. Those teeth have had root canals & been crowned. They jut out somewhat & since the partial wires attach to those teeth--the wires are putting constant pressure on the inside of her mouth causing pain whenever she wears them. She also has sores that look like broken blood vessels & a white patchiness removed by oral surgeons. They said it was benign & caused by something irritating her tongue & mouth area(the lower dentures). Two dentists have done adjustments on these to no avail. Can no one help her???

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
