Love Bites
What is the tipping point where one goes from bridges to full-on dentures?
Is it when one gets down to three teeth? Two? Do they just pull out the remaining ones to make a smooth surface for the dentures?
These things keep me up at night.

Usually when you get under half they’ll pull the rest and give full on dentures. some people despise partials though, and will go from a mouthful of teeth to complete dentures. *nods sagely*

Under half makes sense, especially if they’re dealing with multiple partials in different areas. When you put it like that, dentures are like one (or two) big partials.
