The nature of dentures
is to fill empty spaces where teeth once grew. While
different circumstances call for different measures,
there are a variety of treatments to correct problems
brought about by missing teeth. When seeking advice,
experts who’ve not only seen the most extreme
cases of missing teeth, but who’ve also successfully
repaired the problem might be your best bet.
Dr.
Bobby Grossi of Gateway Dental, can work with you
to decide what the right procedure is for your situation.
Gateway Dental offers procedures for those with
no teeth to anchor dentures as well as those with
less severe cases where, for example, only gaps
need to be filled. While working out a solution
to restore everyday habits like eating and talking,
Serafimovski performs corrective treatment to reverse
infection a priority.
Partial
dentures, which have proven to be the best solution
to fill spaces where healthy teeth are still available
to be used as anchors, makes chewing more effective
and will likely restore the confidence of any smile.
Delaying treatment, however, can result in a lot
of pain. If there are signs of infected teeth or
gums, check into Gateway right away to increase
the chances of saving the teeth that still remain.
Remember, gum and teeth infections can lead to further
tooth loss.
When
there are no teeth to anchor partial dentures, dental
bridges or dental implants, or when all remaining
teeth have to be removed due to infection or severe
decay, full dentures may be the right solution for
you.
If
you still have teeth that can be saved, partial
upper and lower dentures could be the best alternative.
By the simple installation of a metal clasp to hold
the denture in place, patients can save their remaining
teeth and find comfort in eating and smiling again.
The advantages of partial dentures include a healthier
jaw joint, which ultimately leads to better chewing
and support to your cheeks and lips.
The
first day or two after your dentures are installed
may take a little getting used to. Initially, dentures
may leave your mouth feeling crowded or tight. After
your bones and gums start to heal, however, your
dentures will begin to feel as natural as real teeth.
The
process for any solution to missing teeth will require
a series of trips to the dentist chair. And for
those who fear the dentist office, you’ll
be sure to find comfort in the friendly staff at
Gateway Dental, where their main concern is to make
all patients feel right at home and just like part
of the family.
