Advanced tooth loss could lead to issues with speech, meal time, and even the stability of your facial structure. To help address major tooth loss, we could recommend a custom set of dentures. In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about how we create custom full and partial dentures.
The Factors Behind Missing Teeth
Why do we end up losing a large number of our adult teeth? Missing teeth could be due to an injury to the face or jaw, or even due to an untreated cavity or infection. While these issues could be responsible for minor tooth loss, advanced tooth loss is often linked to periodontitis, a more severe stage of gum disease. When we lose teeth, this impacts how we eat, speak, and even the stability of our facial structure. But with a custom full or partial prosthetic, we can return function and health to your smile!
Creating Custom Dentures
To begin, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your tooth loss. We may recommend treatment to manage issues like periodontitis and protect any remaining natural teeth. Our team may also need to extract teeth that have been weakened by gum disease. Once we do, we will take detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft your set of dentures. Each prosthetic will contain an acrylic base that mimics the appearance of gum tissue, as well as ceramic replacement teeth that look natural and can handle daily bite forces and pressures.
Full and Partial Options
With the full, we will provide a prosthetic that can replace every tooth on one or both arches. Suction or adhesives will keep these in place. With partials, we have an option that addresses multiple gaps spread out across your smile, with new teeth that fit in between the gaps. Metal clasps will connect to natural teeth and secure your partial, while remaining invisible. Both of these options need to be cleaned and soaked regularly, and will last about 5 to 10 years before they need replacement. If you have any questions about how we restore smiles with our custom full and partial dentures, or if you have gaps in your smile that need attention, then contact our team today to get started. We want to help you smile with confidence again!
