When you have tooth loss too severe for a dental bridge, then you may benefit from dentures. We have full and partial options, and we could secure them with dental implants! In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne talks about denture options and how we secure a full and lifelike smile, so you can feel confident and enjoy your favorite dishes again.
Partial Dentures
If you have lost teeth throughout your smile, the multiple gaps could be too much to be handled with a dental bridge. But at the same time, you may still have a significant number of natural teeth in place. In a situation like this, we can take on complete tooth loss with a set of partial dentures. The prosthetic will contain new teeth set in a base that looks like gum tissue. There will also be metal clasps, which attach to natural teeth to secure your new teeth, and which stay invisible when worn.
When in place, this can fill all the gaps at once, restoring function and beauty to your smile. The prosthetic is removable, and will need to be soaked and cleaned regularly. Usually, these last about 5 to 10 years before a replacement is needed.
Full Prosthetics
What if you have lost most or all of your natural teeth? If this happens, then we can help with a full prosthetic, one that replaces every tooth on one arch or both of them. Our team can gently extract the last few teeth and then provide a set of dentures that contains a full row of new ceramic teeth, again set in a base that mimics the appearance of gum tissue. Suction and adhesives will keep your new teeth firmly in place, and these can also last about 5 to 10 years on average. We can discuss how to clean and soak them to help them last and fit comfortably, restoring function and beauty to your smile.
Support with Dental Implants
What if we could provide a fixed prosthetic, one that is held in place permanently and never slips or requires removal for cleaning? With dental implants, we can secure a full or partial denture in place for years to come, as the dental implants prevent jaw bridge changes, so your new teeth can remain for decades with proper care and attention. If you have any questions about our prosthetics, or if you are ready to seek tooth replacement, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. You should smile without hesitation again!
