I have some dental issues with my upper teeth, missing three back teeth and have one bridge that is 37 years old. I have struggled with peridontal disease and go in every six monthes for scaling/root planing. I did try a partial dental plate but it made me gag, and I could never get passed that or trying to eat with it in. What can be done?

Bev,
That is another benefit of restoring missing teeth with dental implants that we don’t talk about as much – there is no problem with gagging. To some people, that is a serious issue, because with removable full dentures and removable partial dentures the plate has to cross the palate. With dental implants, of course, nothing like that is required – it’s just like having your own teeth back.
