Sometimes, even those with impeccable dental hygiene lose their teeth; whether from disease, diet, genetic conditions, or an accident, a tooth extraction may be necessary. As common as tooth loss may be, it can still be devastating, as it:
- Takes away from the appearance of your smile
- Can potentially lead to further tooth loss
- Makes it difficult to speak with clarity
- Alters the appearance of the face
- Prevents patients from eating their favorite foods
When you’re missing all of your teeth or just several in a row, we may recommend dentures to restore the appearance and function of your smile.
At Friendly Family Dentistry, we offer both full dentures (for those missing an entire dental arch) and partial dentures (for those missing multiple adjacent teeth). If you are healthy, then you may decide to have your dentures “fixed” into place with dental implants, which will add stability to your new smile.
Dentures are fabricated to look just like natural teeth. While they may take some getting used to, dentures will allow you to:
- Restore the natural fullness of your face
- Improve the appearance of your smile
- Provide support for a weakened jaw
- Give you the confidence to smile, laugh, and speak; no more covering your mouth
If you experience tooth loss, then we have many restorative options available. Contact our office to learn if dentures are right for you.
