Partial dentures VS dental implants for raw lifestyle

[girl81]

My dentist wants to pull my dead molars and give me partial dentures. I'm seeking anyone with experience with partial dentures (or dental implants; I am considering that route as well) and chewing raw nutrition such as spinach, cucumbers, etc. I understand juicing/smoothies is an option; I am more interested in hearing about the chewing capabilities and limitations from people who have experienced it.
I appreciate your insights. God bless.

I have a partial denture and have had it since I was 17. I do not chew well but I think that is more related to my bite than to my denture. My mother has 2 full dentures and seems to have no problem chewing.

I also have a partial. The only thing I don't like about it is, it's easy for food to get underneath it and then chewing is painful. That doesn't happen often though.

I didn't want to get an implant because I just didn't know how my body would react to the implant itself. Plus their cost was a factor also.

Can you get a bridge..? Ofcourse to have a bridge, you have to have the "anchor teeth" ground down and crowned.

Say - have you heard of "Biomemetic Dentistry"? These dentists work with saving your original teeth, or as much of them as possible. They do things that regular dentists do not do.

I will look into that Deb. :). I appreciate the responses ladies. :)
I am currently trying a lot of greens and high doses of vitamin D.

Hi, if you get implants, excuse me for yelling, STAY AWY FROM TITANIUM!!!!!!!! Zirconium is good though.
