Suggest Treatment For Infection In Front Teeth

I have some serious issues with my teeth. I have 4 implants but most of my upper mouth is stable. My problem is my two front teeth are in very very bad shape and need to be taken out. They are only roots with crowns. The crowns are failiing and I have an infection. I went to a dentist who sent me to a prothodontist. He immediately wanted to remove 11 teeth and make an upper denture. He did nothing to address the immediate issue. He told me nothing of the draw back such as bone loss or that the denture would cross the roof of my mouth possibly giving gagging issues. I don't want any of this I just want to deal with the front teeth. After 3 dentist in this little town I don't know what to do.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. if i am your treating doctor i would suggest you to get your teeth removed(if they are in very bad condition) and go for implant supported complete denture. where you can avoid the complete coverage of the denture over the palate. the implant supported denture extends only little area replacing all the teeth. i hop my answer will help you. take care.
