This patient had seen a dentist in 15 years due to fear of the dentist. By the time he arrived in our office, he had advanced gum (periodontal) disease around his remaining teeth. The teeth were too loose to restore with filling or crowns. During a sedation dentistry visit we extracted his teeth and delivered upper and lower dentures. The patients smile and confidence has been greatly enhanced by the new dentures. The patient is considering the placement of dental implants to anchor his new lower denture down tightly.
