When you lose most of your teeth, his could lead to serious issues in your daily life. But with a set of dentures, you could avoid these concerns and even smile with confidence and eat your favorite foods again. Our team help by providing custom partial or full dentures, which offer a lifelike appearance. At our helpful local Gainesville, TX dental office, we can use dentures to offer better oral health and a natural-looking smile.
The Loss of Your Natural Teeth
We could suffer from extensive tooth loss due to a serious injury, or poor oral health, which can cause advanced tooth decay or even dental infection. But the most common cause is gum disease, or more accurately, the periodontitis stage of the disease, which destroys the tissues converging your teeth and gums. When you lose teeth, the body responds by suspending the flow of calcium and phosphorus to the jaw, which causes a breakdown linked to further tooth loss and a prematurely aged appearance. You then suffer from difficulties eating and even issues speaking clearly. But we can help with dentures!
Partials
If you have multiple gaps in your smile spread out across the arch, this is too severe for bridge but may not be severe enough to warrant a full set of dentures. But a partial means new teeth set in a base that looks like gum tissues. The prosthetic is held in place with clasps that attach to the remaining natural teeth to secure your new teeth stay in place. We could also discuss securing them with dental implant posts inserted into the jaw that act like new roots. The partial means a full smile again, and prevents complications like misalignment.
Fulls
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, then we could recommend a full set. The prosthetic contains a full row of teeth and an acrylic base that mimics the appearance of gum tissues. These can be removable, or supported with dental implants, so you have a complete smile that allows you to eat your favorite foods and avoid complications. With either prosthetic option, the prosthetic is custom-made based on detailed digital images and measurements we take of your tooth, which help us create a custom option that fits comfortably and provides a lifelike appearance.
