Dentures have been one of the most common ways to replace missing teeth for many years. They have dramatically improved over the decades, and dentures are even better at restoring smiles and the ability to speak and chew.
There are a number of reasons you could be facing missing teeth, including illness, malnutrition, or plain old bad luck or genetics. If you are missing just a few of your teeth, you might be a candidate for partial dentures. If you are missing all or most of your teeth, you might be a candidate for full dentures.
If you are missing just a few teeth, partial dentures can be made to fit in between the remaining teeth and integrate with them. The end result will be a full set of teeth that look very natural. In addition, your remaining teeth will be protected from the issues that can happen when you have missing teeth, such as moving and bite issues.
If you are missing all of your teeth, you’ll most likely need a full set of dentures. Dentures are totally custom-made for you, and they will give you back not only the function of your teeth but you will have your self-confidence back. Today’s dentures look more natural than ever, so you will have none of the old-fashioned “Chiclet” look so common with dentures in the past.
The bottom line is that there are options for replacing lost teeth so you do not need to go without them. If you want to improve your smile and gain back lost dental functionality, modern-day dentistry and the innovation of technology has actually made it so that there is basically no reason you can’t take pleasure in a complete set of gorgeous, natural looking teeth and all the privileges that come with them.
