Anyone use partial dentures only?

[giddyup]

I'm coming up for 80 and have lost most of my molars, but still have all the front teeth, top and bottom. Wondering if anyone is using dentures that only replace missing molars? No point in going for implants at my age, don't want to put myself through all the discomfort, plus the huge cost.

Yes i have been using partial dentures for missing couple of teeth up and down and been using them for years now without any hassle and with minimum cost and care one you start to use them so ahead and get them done and you should be ok...

I have had them since 13.

Wouldn't be with out them! Bahahaha

I had a partial denture done for me about 8 or 9 years ago by the head dentist at RAM Hospital in Chiang Mai, to replace lower molars on my LHS.

She did a very good job, can't remember what it cost. Meticulous with the fitting operation, about 3 or 4 appointments. It's still chomping away on Pringles and cashew nuts quite happily.

The dentist will be reshaping the front teeth to provide seating for the metal cage. This is what mine looks like.
