MADE USING
When a tooth goes unreplaced, remaining teeth don’t stay where they are. In fact, they will begin to start shifting into the open spaces of your mouth. This is their way of naturally compensating for the additional room. Unfortunately, it can also lead to misalignment of the bite and increase your risk of chronic conditions like bruxism and TMJ disorder. Additionally, your diet can become limited and saying certain words can become more difficult. Not only do dentures bring your smile back, but they improve your quality of life in more ways than one.
When replacing teeth via dentures, you can choose between full or partial dentures. Full dentures work to replace an entire arch of teeth. You can replace the upper arch, lower arch, or both if needed. Alternatively, if you still have some remaining healthy teeth, a partial denture can be used to fill the gaps on opposite sides of your smile. In a way, it acts as a puzzle piece and prevents teeth from further shifting out of place.
Dentures are helpful for millions of Americans every day, but they aren’t necessarily for everyone. If you’re in need of an alternative solution, we recommend giving dental bridges and dental implants a closer look as well.
With a dental bridge, you can replace multiple consecutive teeth at a time! Bridges are made up of several crowns attached together. While crowns that replace your teeth (pontics) sit in the center, the crowns on either side are hollowed out so they can fit on top of teeth adjacent to the gap.
You can do so much more with dental implants than simply replace teeth. In fact, we can place a series of implants throughout your jaw so they can support a dedicated denture later! Implants are generally more expensive, but the long-term benefits are more than worth it!
