Dentures If you have missing teeth, you may be wondering what the best solution for your teeth is. Dental bridges and implants are common options. However, dentures are some of the most well-known and effective tooth replacements available. Dentures are designed to replace your natural teeth and make it easier for you to eat, speak, and smile. Dentures are often used in place of missing teeth, but they can also be used to create a more beautiful and whole smile, as well as provide support for weakened chewing and improve your speaking. They come in a variety of styles to suit your needs and preferences. Some dentures are made from natural materials, while others are made from artificial materials. Here at our Stonewall Dental Associates dental clinic, our dentists can help determine which dentures will best suit your smile. What Causes Tooth Loss?Tooth loss is a common problem affecting millions of people, but thankfully, there are always solutions to replace them. But it is important to know what causes tooth loss so that you can implement measures to avoid losing your permanent teeth. First, periodontal disease can loosen your teeth, and eventually, they will fall out since the gums will no longer be strong enough to hold them in place. Other reasons that can cause tooth loss are tooth extraction procedures, poor oral hygiene, natural aging, tooth decay, and injuries. What Are the Most Common Types of Dentures?There are two main types of dentures that your dentist can suggest for you. They include partial and complete dentures. Both of them perform the same function of replacing your teeth, but they have a minor difference. The partial denture is usually given to patients with a few missing teeth, while the complete denture is mainly administered to dental patients who have lost all of their teeth. When you choose full dentures, the dentist will remove the few remaining teeth in your mouth so that the complete denture can fit properly. Full dentures make your smile appear more natural and are very comfortable to use. You should remove them while sleeping, to give your gums a rest, and to let your dentures soak in a cleaning solution. How Will Dentures Improve My Oral Health?Dentures will not only improve your smile, but they will also boost your dental health by allowing you to have nutritious foods in your diet. Missing teeth make it hard to chew food properly and can cause a deficiency of essential nutrients. Dentures will make it easy for you to maintain good oral health. This is because they are easy to clean and ensure you do not get gum infections and other oral issues. Also, dentures help support other remaining teeth in your mouth by preventing them from shifting and turning.
