I am nearly 80 yrs old. I have had chrome dentures for two months, and have had a lot of problems with them. The latest is that the clasps have caused my own teeth to loosen and I have had infection and an extraction as a result. My other teeth are wearing thin due to the movement of the clasps when eating. What happens when all the 'anchor' teeth are worn out and the dentures have nothing to clasp on to?

Hi I had unstraight front teeth and asked my dentist about straightening them, he suggested crowns. I went ahead and had them done about 2 years ago.

I also have gum disease which I'm trying to get under control. I've s...
