When we see patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, then we know they need more than a bridge or a partial set of dentures. With a full set of dentures, we can provide a complete smile again! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about how we provide full smiles with full dentures.
When You Need Complete Dentures
When should you seek a full set of custom dentures? We recommend thaws for people with total tooth loss, or who are missing the vast majority of their teeth. Because otherwise, their bite function continues to fall, limiting meal options and leading to an older appearance. Advanced tooth loss also impacts how clearly we speak and can lead to people avoiding social situations, which harms their quality of life. To restore function, beauty, and even health to the smile, we can address advanced tooth loss with a custom and lifelike option!
Getting Started
To begin, we will examine your smile to assess the cause of your tooth loss. We want to manage any underlying issues like periodontal disease to protect your new teeth and reduce the risk of related inflammatory issues, such as heart disease or diabetes. We then numb the areas around the remaining teeth so we can safely and comfortably extract them, paving the way for your new teeth. Our team will then take detailed images and measurements of the bite with digital systems, using the information in a lab setting to design and craft the final product.
How We Secure Your New Smile
Your denture will contain a full row of teeth made from lifelike and durable ceramic, and set in an acrylic base that is made to mimic the appearance of gum tissues. With removable options, we will secure your new teeth with suction or an adhesive. With dental implants, we insert multiple implants to the jaw and connect the prosthetic to them. Our team can help you decide which of these options is best for you, and start you on the path to a full and beautiful smile.
If you have any questions about addressing your tooth loss, or if you are ready to start the journey to a full set of new teeth, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. You deserve a complete smile and better bite function, and we are ready to help make it a reality.
