Effects of Missing Teeth
As we mentioned above, tooth loss can take a serious toll on your self-esteem. Not only that, but it can make speaking, eating, and other everyday tasks extremely difficult, negatively impacting your quality of life in the process. That’s why we encourage patients to reach out to us, even if they’ve only lost a few back teeth that no one can see. Your oral health is our number one priority, and we want you to have a healthy, complete, and beautiful smile that helps you live your life to the fullest.
What Qualifies You for Dentures?
There are a few things we need to consider, including how many teeth you are missing, where they are located in your mouth, and the state of your oral health. Once we have all of this information, we can determine if you’re a candidate for dentures and, if you are, create a customized treatment plan.
Important note: If you have any existing oral health issues, like cavities or gum disease, these will need to be treated ahead of time. The good news is that we can add that onto the front-end of your treatment plan, making the process of restoring your healthy, complete smile considerably more convenient.
Alternative Tooth-Replacement Options
Of course, dentures are just one of the tooth-replacement solutions we offer. Depending on your unique dental needs and goals, we may recommend a dental bridge or implant instead. Here’s a little more information on each:
- Dental bridge – As the name suggests, dental bridges are designed to “bridge” the gap left by tooth loss. Traditionally, this is accomplished by placing dental crowns on the surrounding teeth and then securing custom-made, lifelike replacement teeth to them.
- Dental implant – This cutting-edge tooth-replacement solution is unique because it replaces both the root and crown. Not only does this provide unmatched stability, but it helps prevent jawbone loss. Plus, with proper care, they can last for 30+ years!
If you are struggling with tooth loss, and you think you’d benefit from getting dentures, don’t hesitate to give us a call! That way, we can learn more about your dental needs and schedule an appointment for you at our office.
Types of Dentures
There are multiple different types of dentures available to meet different needs. During your consultation, we will discuss which of the following options is ideal for you.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are made up of multiple replacement teeth and a gum-colored base. This type of denture fits between the existing teeth like a puzzle piece to fill any gaps. To remain in place, partial dentures are attached to the natural teeth with the help of either clips or brackets.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are made to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the top or bottom. They remain in place with help from the natural shape and suction of your mouth. If you need additional support, denture adhesive is also available to provide stability. Traditional full dentures are removable, so you can take them out to clean them and while you sleep.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are supported by dental implants. The implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. They help your replacement teeth to stay in place and they eliminate any need for adhesive or clasps. Dental implants also help to stimulate the jawbone, preventing the progression of bone resorption caused by tooth loss. The additional stability provided by implants allows patients to regain up to 70% or more of their natural chewing ability. Implant dentures are also made to last numerous decades, so you don’t need to worry about frequent repairs or replacements.
The Benefits of Dentures
Here are just some of the many benefits you can experience when you get dentures to replace your missing teeth:
- Allows for a more expansive diet
