When you are experiencing tooth loss, it’s important to replace your lost pearly whites as soon as possible to avoid the many oral health problems that it can cause. Dental bridges are one helpful option that could help address this concern if you are missing a few teeth in the same row. If you are experiencing more serious forms of tooth loss, or missing an entire arch, dentures may be a better option. Many patients may worry that this prosthetic option will look unnatural or may not help improve the functions that you could have lost. Your team at Riverside Dental Group in Riverside, CA, is here today to talk about how this option works and how it could help.
Your Dentures Will Be Customized
A common worry that patients have is that their dentures will look unnatural. Thankfully, with modern technology and the materials we use, we can create a set of false teeth that blends in seamlessly with your smile. Your dentist will take an impression of your oral cavity to create either a partial or complete set that will fit your oral cavity precisely. They can be made of acrylic resin and your dentist will choose a shade that looks lifelike.
They Can Help You Chew, Talk, And Smile
Another fear that patients may have is that their dentures may slip around or be uncomfortable. Depending on the severity of your tooth loss, a partial or complete set will be created to fit in with your smile. They can stay in place with the help of adhesive or suctioning to the inside of your mouth, meaning they should not slip out of place. This should help you chew your food better and speak with more clarity.
An Implant-Retained Option Offers Long-Term Support
In most cases, dentures are a removable option that can be taken out to clean each day. Alternatively, these can be secured in place with implants that consistent of four posts fused to your jawbone. This can help provide more stability for your prosthetic and protects your smile for the long term. If you do not address tooth loss, your jawbone could potentially become weakened, and you could risk further tooth loss in some cases.
