DENTURES
Everyone would like to keep all of their natural teeth, but the reality is that tooth loss happens. Missing teeth can have a large, negative impact on your self-image; you’ll also have a harder time eating a wide variety of foods, which can lead to poor nutrition and health problems. As well as improving your appearance, in some cases it is important to try to replace any missing teeth in order to balance the way your jaw bites. If you have several missing teeth, the remaining teeth are under more pressure, which can lead to broken fillings or even jaw problems. A mouth full of functional teeth is important for maintaining high quality of life. The good news is that whether you have lost some or all of your teeth, you can keep smiling in comfort and style with affordable quality dentures.
The decision on how to replace the missing teeth depends on the number that are missing and where they are in the mouth. The condition of the remaining teeth is also a significant factor. There are three main ways to replace the missing teeth – dentures, bridges and dental implants.
Cimbak Dental Clinic, Port Harcourt, can provide you with partials or full dentures to create a strong and beautiful smile.
Why you really need a denture?
When you have a few missing teeth, you may be tempted to just ignore them. Yet doing so can lead to serious problems over time. Even if you do not get them replaced permanently with dental implants, you could be facing other concerns in the future, such as:
- Without dentures the teeth surrounding the gaps may start to lean out of alignment.
- You may get bacteria caught in the gums at and around the missing teeth.
- Other teeth may begin to loosen and eventually fall out.
Why take chances with your oral health? A partial denture not only completes your grin, but it protects you, too! These removable dentures fill in your smile gaps, and can be taken out to clean at night. They are well-suited to patients who want an affordable, fast and personalized way to solve the issue of missing teeth at our dental practice.
