My father has a heart condition due to a childhood illness (Rheumatic Fever) %26amp; recently got an infection in his gums due to neglect. He’s not one for doctors, (growing up we couldn’t afford med insurance anyway) but after 30 yrs I got him to go to the walk-in clinic. They gave him antibiotics %26amp; told him to see a dentist ASAP. His oral health is detrimental to his heart. Insurance or not, I desperately need to get him to a good dentist. Most of his teeth are missing, so he will have to get a complete set of dentures. I am looking for the best dentist in CT. I want his new dentures to look as close to natural as possible, not like horse teeth. He may also need oral tissue repair. So far my research points to seeking a Prosthodontist. Any insight, knowledge, or experience you can provide is greatly appreciated; I want to help him make the best possible decisions through this process.
Need help choosing the right dentist for cosmetic and oral tissue repair?
The first thing you should know is that if it is possible to save some of his natural teeth, especially on the lower arch, you should do it. Most dentists will invite you in to look at a trial fitting before the teeth are made to see how they look and get your approval. If you want the best, you might want to see a periodontist about the gum infection. Prosthodontists are especially useful in difficult cases.
