When you have a full set of dentures, we can address major tooth loss and restore optimal function and beauty to your smile again. Each set is custom-made, and we could offer removable options or a set secured with dental implants. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about our complete dentures.
The Impact of Total Tooth Loss
When you lose most or all of your teeth, this could cause serious trouble for your overall oral health and even your quality of life. Major tooth loss limits the kinds of foods you can enjoy, and could even make speaking clearly a difficult process. In addition, you could feel uncomfortable in social situations. Your body will also respond to this by suspending the flow of calcium and phosphorus to the bone tissue around the missing roots, causing them the tissue to lose mass and density. The break down then causes a prematurely aged appearance!
Crafting a Complete Set of Dentures
To help treat missing teeth and bring relief to your smile, we will carefully examine your smile and if necessary, treat underlying oral health issues that could threaten your prosthetic. We then remove any remaining teeth and take detailed digital images, which we combine to create a 3D computer impression. In a dental lab setting, we can design and craft the finished product. The dentures will contain a full row of ceramic teeth, which we shade for a more lifelike appeared, set in an acrylic base. The base will be crafted to mimic the appearance of gum tissues.
Removable
For a removable set, natural suction or a special adhesive will keep the prosthetic in place firmly. It will need to be removed periodically for cleaning and soaking, and will last about 5 to 10 years, requiring replacement as the shape of the jaw ridge changes with time.
Implant-Secured
With this option, we attach the denture to a series of dental implants inserted directly into the jaw. The body accepts them as natural roots, stimulating the growth of jawbone tissue to prevent an aged appearance and prevent changes in jaw ridge shape. As a result, your prosthetic can last decades, maybe even a lifetime. They’re fixed in place too, so they never skip and don’t need to be removed for cleaning or soaking either. If you have any questions about our removable or dental implant secured dentures, then contact our team today. We would love to help you enjoy a full and beautiful smile once again!
