Temporary denture with implant
Posted: Tue May 24, 2011 7:56 am
Hi,
I'm (hopefully) coming to the end of my time in Damon braces. I will need an implant in a front tooth (lost it in a rollerskating incident when I was 18 - 47 now). I saw an implant specialist yesterday. I am going to wait until my braces are removed. I then have to have previous root canal filling & an abscess removed & wait before I can start the implant procedure. In the meantime (probably about 8-12 months) I'll have to have a denture (ahh). I was wondering if this will interfere with the retainer my ortho gives me & whether anyone has any recommendations for a particualr type of retainer to use with dentures. I know it won't be for too long but I'm sure my teeth will move back if I'm not careful.
Thanks for any advice
