The Causes and Risks of Total Tooth Loss
What happens to cause teeth to go missing in your smile? For some, adult tooth loss could be due to injury to the face or jaw, or even as a result of a serious cavity or infection. However, advanced tooth loss is usually related to periodontitis, the advanced stage of gum disease. When this happens, you could lose several teeth, possibly even most of them. Severe tooth loss is linked to issues with limited meal options, poor speech, and even weakened jawbone structure and an older appearance. You could also feel uncomfortable with your appearance, which impacts your social interactions and overall quality of life. But we can help restore your smile with a full set of dentures.
Designing Your Custom Dental Prosthetic
To begin, we will examine your smile to assess the cause of your tooth loss. If you are receiving implant dentures in particular. We want to manage issues like periodontal disease to prevent implant failure. Our team will gently extract the last few teeth and take detailed images and impressions of your bite from multiple angles Once we do, we will use the images and measurements in a lab setting to design and craft your prosthetics. Your new prosthetic will contain a complete row of lifelike ceramic teeth set in an acrylic base. The base will mimic the appearance of gum tissues.
Removable and Implant Dentures
With removable options, the prosthetic will be held in place with suction or possibly the assistance of a special adhesive. These last about 5 to 10 years, and need to be soaked and cleaned regularly. With dental implants, we insert several posts into your jaw and attach the dentures to them, which fixes them in place. They tend to last much longer and can act more like natural teeth.
