Answers:
Nope! If you just have some teeth in your mouth you can get a variety of prostheses (fake teeth) to restore the missing teeth!. You can get a removable partial denture, which looks like a denture in the areas that don't have teeth and have special clasps and holders that go around your natural teeth!. You can get a bridge (also called a fixed partial denture) which is metal or porcelain fake teeth that are cemented into place in the mouth, with crowns on either side that go over your natural teeth!. You can also get implants, which are metal screws that go into the place that a tooth would go!. You can then put a fake tooth on the implant and since it's sitting in the bone, it acts a lot like the real tooth was still there!.

So lots of options! And it's great to not wait until all the teeth need to be extracted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No you don't need to be missing all your teeth for dentures!. They have several ways of replacing missing or very damaged teeth!. Crowns, veneers, implants, partial dentures, all of which are made for you!. And very expensive as most insurances wont cover it as its usually for cosmetic purposes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
