Frequently asked questions about full and partial dentures
Losing a tooth, or several teeth, due to injury or decay might affect more than just your smile’s aesthetic appeal. It can also lead to the shifting of the remaining teeth and sagging of the face without adequate support. With a wealth of experience restoring smiles, the Harvest Hills Dental Care dental team in East Gwillimbury, Ontario, has proven remarkably successful in offering full and partial denture services to numerous patients. Our dental experts can discuss the benefits of using full and partial dentures to restore your smile! Let’s look at some commonly asked questions about dentures from our patients.
What can cause the loss of a tooth or teeth?
It is a common misconception that our permanent teeth will last a lifetime. This is because various factors, such as inadequate dental maintenance, can cause tooth decay or gum diseases, culminating in tooth extraction. Unforeseeable circumstances like accidents falls, or even a misdirected baseball can also damage your oral health, leading to a lost tooth. Whatever caused your tooth loss, you must immediately find a cost-effective remedy to bridge this gap. This is crucial in rebuilding your self-esteem and regaining your radiant smile.
What are my teeth replacement options?
Have you recently lost a tooth? You have probably been hearing about various treatment choices, such as bridges, implants, and dentures. Dentures often emerge as the preferred choice for patients when cost plays a significant role in their decision-making process. It’s worth noting that even within dentures, a variety of options are available, with full and partial choices.
What choices do I have when it comes to full and partial dentures?
Our dentists provide expert guidance in helping their patients choose between partial and full dentures that can be permanent or removable. The selection between partial and full depends largely on the number of teeth replaced. Partial dentures come into play when there are only a few teeth to replace, while full dentures serve as a complete set for the upper or lower jaw. Further considerations include the patient’s preference for nightly removal or a more permanent fixture.
Are dentures going to make me look older?
No matter the type of dentures you choose, rest assured they are not the same as the ones your grandmother used to wear. Modern dentures are designed to mimic the natural look of teeth so impeccably that nobody can tell that they are not your real teeth. These dentures offer unprecedented comfort and stability, enabling you to enjoy your favorite foods and articulate your words easily and clearly.
