This photo shows Mike’s lower partial denture in place. When I fist met Mike, I was hoping we could keep those two lower teeth. They had no mobility, would have been good anchor teeth and his lower partial denture was relatively stable. Unfortunately after looking at the X-rays, the two lower canines were unrestorable.

We are making an important assumption here. Mike mentioned that he had dentures, and that he was pleased how they worked. Our overall goal is to make his new set as close as possible to his old set, as far as function.
