Combatting tooth loss means restoring your smile with a prosthetic. Tooth replacement can restore your ability to eat, speak clearly, and enjoy a whole smile once again. We offer both full and partial dentures as a means of returning your smile to full function and health. There are a number of reasons to consider dentures.
Reasons to Consider Dentures
- Tooth loss can hurt your oral health: Losing your teeth, even at a young age, can lead to misalignment, loss of jawbone density, and other oral health complications. In order to enjoy optimal oral health you need to maintain a full smile.
- Dentures can address minor tooth loss: These prosthetics aren’t limited to patients who have lost all of their teeth. In fact, if you’ve lost multiple teeth spread across an arch, but don’t yet need a full prosthetic, we may recommend a partial. Made from lifelike materials and featuring a gum like base, the prosthetic is held in place with metal clasps that attach to your remaining natural teeth.
- We can replace all of your teeth if necessary: A full prosthetic consists of new teeth set in a base designed to mimic the appearance of gums. The new teeth are held in place with natural suction or possibly the assistance of a special adhesive.
- The prosthetic looks natural: The design process always begins with impressions. Taking impressions allows a dental lab to better design and fabricate the new teeth, ensuring the prosthetic blends seamlessly with your smile and fits comfortably.
- They can last a long time: Dentures can sometimes provide between 10 and 15 years of tooth replacement before they require adjustment or replacement. We will monitor them during your routine checkups and cleanings. If you have any questions, please contact our office today.
