When you have more severe cases of tooth loss, you may need more than a dental bridge. With a set of full or partial dentures, we can take on these complicated and severe cases and help you smile with confidence again. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about how to help smiles with a set of dentures.
The Loss of Your Natural Teeth
When you lose your natural teeth and there are now gaps spread out across your smile, you could have a case of tooth loss too complex to be treated with a dental bridge alone. Instead, you need a prosthetic that fills these gaps at once, and we can provide this with a partial set of dentures. Otherwise, your missing teeth could increase the risk of complications like misalignment, TMJ disorder, bruxism (teeth grinding), limited meal options, and even issues with clear speech. You could also feel uncomfortable with your appearance! But we can help with a set of partials.
Partial Dentures
This prosthetic will contain new ceramic teeth that can handle daily bite forces and also be shaded to bend with your smile too. Which means a natural appearance and the ability to enjoy your favorite dishes again. The teeth will be set in an acrylic base that is designed to look like gum tissue. There will be metal clasps that connect to natural teeth and secure your new teeth, but remain invisible when your prosthetic is in place. The prosthetic can last about 5 to 10 years before replacement is needed as the jaw ridge gradually changes shape. You will soak and clean them regularly to ensure they fit comfortably and continue to last for years to come. When in place, you will have a full and functional smile!
Creating Full Prosthetics
To ensure a lifelike appearance and a comfortable fit, we will custom-make your partials. To begin, we will examine your smile to assess the cause of your tooth loss, as we may need to address issues like periodontal disease before moving forward. Our team will take detailed digital images and impressions of your bite from multiple angles. We then continue them to create a 3D impression we use in a lab setting to design and craft your prosthetic.
If you have any questions about our partial dentures, or if about handling your tooth loss, then please reach out to our team today to get started! We want to help you smile with confidence again.
