Dear Dr. Collins,

I am referring Mrs. Margaret Wilson, a 68-year-old patient, for prosthodontic rehabilitation.

She has an edentulous upper arch and is missing several lower molars. She currently uses an old denture, which has become loose and causes significant discomfort. She reports difficulty chewing and concerns about aesthetics.

Her medical history is significant for well-controlled diabetes.

In view of her needs, I believe she would benefit from a new full upper denture and a partial lower prosthesis.

Thank you for your assistance in restoring her oral function and comfort.

Yours sincerely,
Dentist
