In our last blog, we talked about how we treat minor tooth loss with a dental bridge. But for patients with more severe tooth loss, we can help with full or partial dentures. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about how our dentures provide complete smiles again.
The Causes of Severe Tooth Loss
Severe tooth loss could be due to oral health concerns, such as tooth decay, infection, or in most cases, periodontitis, the advanced stage of gum disease. Severe tooth loss could also be due to a major injury as well. When you lose so many of your natural teeth, this could limit your meal options and even impact how clearly you speak. You could also have issues with jawbone strength, as the areas around the missing teeth weaken and erode to cause further tooth loss and even an older appearance. But we can help return function to smile providing a complete smile again with dentures.
Partial Prosthetics
Even if you have a complicated case of lost teeth, we can offer a complete smile again with dentures. With partials, we can fill multiple gaps spread out across the arch all at once. The prosthetic contains new ceramic teeth set in an acrylic base, one that looks like gum tissue. There will be clasps in the prosthetic that attach to natural teeth to secure the prosthetic firmly, and the new teeth will fit snugly in the gaps. The partial offers a full smile and can last for 5 to 10 years on average.
Full Prosthetics
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, then we could offer a complete smile again with full dentures. We will gently extract the last few and secure a prosthetic that contains a full set of new ceramic teeth, all shaded for a natural look. Suction or an adhesive can keep the removable prosthetic in place, but we could also offer a fixed option with dental implants, and this option could last for decades to come and never skips or requires removable for maintenance,
