While a dental bridge is perfect should you have a lost tooth or three in a row, if you have several gaps across your smile, you may need something more substantial. With a partial denture, we can offer a complete smile, even if your tooth loss is complex. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about our partial dentures.
The Loss of Multiple Natural Teeth
How do we lose so many natural teeth? You could develop multiple missing teeth due to factors like advanced tooth decay or an untreated dental infection. An injury could be responsible too. But in most cases, advanced tooth loss with multiple gaps spread out across your smile is usually related to gum disease. When the disease reaches a stage known as periodontitis, you suffer from attachment loss, which loosens teeth and causes them to go missing. Without treatment, you could be susceptible to misalignment, issues with eating or speaking, and suffer the onset of complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding).
Designing Your New Removable Prosthetic
Our team will look closely at your smile to assess the severity of your tooth loss. We will also look at the underlying causes, as we want to manage issues like periodontal disease to avoid further tooth loss. Our team will then extract any teeth that are severely diseased or decayed. With digital imaging, we can take several pictures of your bite and use them to create a detailed 3D impression, so we can then design and fabricate your custom prosthetic in a lab setting.
Securing Your Partial Denture
Your partial denture will contain new ceramic teeth, which we shaded to blend with your natural ones, set in an acrylic base. There will also be metal clasps, which can connect to natural teeth to secure your new prosthetic firmly. We will discuss how to clean and maintain your new dentures so they can truly last. If you have any questions about how we restore your smile to full function and beauty with a partial denture, then contact our team today to learn more. Let’s end 2025 with a full smile, and use your dental benefits before they expire.
