Whether you have complex cases or total tooth loss, we can help with a set of dentures. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist is looking at our full and partial dentures! Each set is custom-made for your smile, ensuring results that not only look natural, but also restore function and balance to your bite again. You can smile with confidence again, and can help with a set of our removable or implant-supported dentures.
Complex Tooth Loss
When you lose teeth and have multiple gaps spread out across your smile, this is a case too advanced to handle with a dental bridge. However, you could still have enough natural teeth in place that reaching them to pave the way for full dentures would be overkill. For these complex cases, we could help address your tooth loss with a set of partial dentures.
Total Tooth Loss
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, then your smile will benefit from a complete set of new teeth. This addresses every tooth on one or both arches. We may extract the last few teeth to pave the way for your prosthetic.
The Complications of Tooth Loss
When you lose teeth, the gap could allow remaining teeth to drift from position, creating misalignment that causes further harm to your oral health. Missing teeth could limit your ability to speak clearly, and could also limit your meal options. You could be deprived of your favorite meals and also essential nutrients. People with advanced tooth loss could also feel uncomfortable with their appearance, which impacts their overall quality of life. But we can help with dentures!
Designing Your New Teeth
Our team will examine your sale to assess the cause and severity of your tooth loss. We may need to treat underlying issues like periodontal disease to help protect your remaining natural teeth. We then take detailed digital images and impressions of your bite from multiple angles, using them to design and craft your prosthetics with precision and accuracy. For your new teeth, we will use ceramic, which can be shaded to blend with your smile and also handle daily bite forces with ease. These will be inserted into a base that mimics the appearance of gum tissues and is made from acrylic.
Securing Your Custom Partials
If you receive a partial set of dentures, then we will add the new teeth to a base and when in place, these new teeth will fit comfortably in the gaps in your smile. Metal clasps will attach to natural teeth to keep your prosthetics in place firmly. Being removable means they need to be taken out for cleaning and soaking. And they tend to last about 5 to 10 years before replacement is ended as the jaw ridge changes shape.
Full Prosthetics
A full set will be held in place with suction or an adhesive, and will address a complete row of missing teeth. They again need to be removed for cleaning and soaking regularly, and last about five years on average.
Support With Dental Implants
Our team could also offer a fixed option with our dental implants. We will insert these into the jaw where they act like new roots. These dental implants prevent the jaw ridge from changing shape, so your new teeth can remain in place for decades to come, possibly a lifetime. We then connect the new teeth to them. Since these are fixed in place, they don’t need to be removed for soaking or cleaning, and instead can remain in place and function like natural teeth. You then enjoy results that look natural, last far longer, and help you feel confident in your appearance.
