Q. I have a hader bar for my lower denture. It is attached to 3 teeth that were cut off at the gum. There was a hole drilled in each tooth and then a post attached to the hader bar would fit into those holes. The first one I had lasted over 25 years until I was in a car wreck. My denture broke and the new Dts. replaced the old bar when making the new dentures. I have had the new dentures almost 3 years. They have broken once and the bar has now come completely out. A Dts. cemented it back in the other day but it had come back out before I got home. The teeth are in great shape. Any suggestions. I just paid 7000.00 for the last set of dentures and the bar. I have no insurance and no money left to have implants. Is there something that can help this hader bar stay attached? I am using yellow clips and they were replaced two months ago.
A. I don’t really know without seeing you. I guess the foundations have gone so implants sound like your only option
