Regaining Your Smile After Significant Tooth Loss

Serious tooth loss can feel like the end of your smile as you knew it. With significant tooth loss comes difficulty eating, embarrassment about your appearance, and problems like jawbone deterioration. Your dentist can provide you with prosthetic care after major tooth loss. Depending on your needs, partial dentures or complete dentures can bring back your full smile. While many patients will receive removable dentures, you can have a permanently placed restoration when you have your dentures held by dental implants. Permanent dentures can improve your ability to bite and chew, and even put a stop to the loss of jawbone density.

Receiving A Set Of Removable Dentures

Your dentures will be customized so that they are an ideal fit for your mouth. Partial dentures work around the current gaps in your smile, allowing you to keep your remaining teeth. With total dentures, your dentist will supply you with a complete upper or lower row of artificial teeth. Natural suction can help them keep in position, but there are epoxies that can help with this as well.

Using Dental Implants To Enjoy A Permanently Placed Prosthetic

When you receive dental implants to hold a prosthetic, you can count on improved functional support, while avoiding oral health issues that can come with tooth loss. Having full or partial dentures supported with implants can keep you safe from jawbone resorption. This condition sees your jaw deteriorate over time because of missing teeth. The implants produce stimulation that encourages a healthy flow of blood to the bone – this will stop the breakdown of material from taking place.
