A restored smile can make a world of difference! With missing teeth, your self-confidence can be greatly affected. Getting your smile back can help you once again enjoy smiling and laughing without being self-conscious about your teeth. Treatment options for restoring missing teeth include dental implants, bridges and dentures. Dentures are more cost effective and are used to replace a large section of teeth. Dentures are more advanced than ever before with a comfortable, secure fit and natural look.
The Importance of Dentures
When a tooth is missing, the jaw bone where the tooth once was will begin to deteriorate. Jaw bone loss can change the shape of your face over time. By replacing your missing teeth, you can help preserve your jaw bone. Another side effect of missing teeth is the surrounding teeth shifting out of place. By restoring your smile you can help the rest of your teeth stay aligned. Replacing your teeth is not only good for your self-esteem, but also for maintaining oral health.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are made to replace a section of teeth if other teeth still remain. Partial dentures are secured in place by attaching to existing teeth. Complete dentures replace a full set of teeth on the upper or lower jaw. The first step in creating custom dentures is taking impressions of your mouth. From these impressions, dentures are custom-made to complete your smile. Dentures are made to fit snugly but comfortably so that you don’t have to worry about them staying in place.
