My elderly father recently had some teeth filled. He also has one partial tooth. All of which are in the same general area, in the lower part of his jaw. However, in the last couple of days, two of his front teeth fell out. Because his gums and remaining teeth are not in the best health, we are in need of affordable dental options to remedy the issue.

Dear Mindi,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your father\u2019s teeth fell out, completely on their own, that is a case of advanced periodontal disease. If this is in fact the case, there are likely few to no solid teeth left. Therefore, you have a few options.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Options For Replacing Missing Teeth
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most ideal solution would be dental implants<\/a>. However, your father would need a full-mouth reconstruction, which would likely cost over $20,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option to consider is removable dentures<\/a>. One problem with removable dentures is they cause bone resorption. However, since your father is in his elderly years, this would not be an issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third option is a partial denture. A partial is built like a complete denture, but has holes in it, allowing the existing teeth to poke through. This is a more stable option that allows holes to be closed up with artificial teeth should additional teeth fall out.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have not already done so, you should consult with your dentist, and let him know your father\u2019s budget constraints up front. His dentist will likely share financial options<\/a> with you, that will make the dental treatments more affordable.
