In our last blog, we looked at how partial dentures take on complicated cases of tooth loss. But what if you have lost most or all of your teeth? In this situation, you may benefit from a full denture. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we create custom complete dentures.
The Impact of Total Tooth Loss
What happens to people who lose most or all of their natural teeth? Well, they could feel embarrassed about their appearance and may even avoid social interactions, which then causes a poor quality of life. They will be severely limited in their meal options, which deprives them of essential nutrients. Clear speech could be difficult as well! To avoid this and restore function and beauty to their smiles, we could provide a full set of new teeth.
Creating Custom Dental Prosthetics
To begin, we may need to numb portions of the smile and then extract the last few teeth. Our team then takes detailed images and impressions of your bite, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft your custom prosthetic. The prosthetic will contain a complete row of ceramic teeth, which we shade to look natural. These will be able to absorb daily bite forces and pressures too. In addition, these teeth will be set in an acrylic base, one that looks like gum tissue.
Securing Your Full Dentures
When your full denture is ready, we will check the fit to ensure proper balance. Suction or adhesives can keep this prosthetic in place, and it will last about 5 to 10 years before replacement is ended as the jaw ridge changes shape. We can discuss the proper way to clean and soak them. We could also discuss supporting them with dental implants, which fixes them in place and prevents changes to the jaw ridge, so your new teeth can last for decades to come.
If you have any questions about how our team will take on advanced tooth loss with a custom set of dentures, then contact our team today to learn more. We want you to smile without hesitation again with our lifelike and durable prosthetics.
