Yes, you can wear dentures if you have gum disease (periodontitis), but any active periodontal infection must be professionally assessed and stabilized before fabricating and fitting dental prostheses. Key Clinical Considerations: - For Partial Dentures: If remaining natural teeth have untreated periodontitis, mobile teeth cannot serve as reliable anchors for clasps. Gum disease must be treated first to secure the foundation, or hopeless teeth must be planned for extraction. - For Complete Dentures: In severe, advanced periodontitis where teeth have lost significant bone support and cannot be saved, full extractions followed by immediate dentures or settled complete dentures is often the recommended pathway to eliminate chronic oral infection. - Bone Support: Severe periodontitis causes significant jawbone loss before tooth extraction. Fabricating dentures for these mouths requires advanced impression techniques to capture maximum available retention.
