When a tooth is lost from decay or trauma, there are multiple reasons that you may want to have it replaced. Medically speaking, every tooth in your mouth is essential to helping others stay in position and to retain the health and strength of your jawbone. Teeth also play an important role in normal speech and allow you to properly chew your food, so you gain the most nutrition from them. Beyond the practical reasons, there are also aesthetic ones. Gaps in your teeth can cause self-image issues and concerns about flashing your smile. Dunwin Dental offers natural-looking restoration solutions under our general dentistry services in the form of crowns and bridges.
Missing teeth can be a serious problem, impacting one’s ability to eat properly and speak clearly. Dentures are a popular and effective solution for providing patients with a prosthetic solution for missing teeth, and have been in use for centuries. Modern technology has created dentures that are more comfortable, more effective, and more natural in appearance than ever before. Patients can choose from two types of dentures- full and partial dentures.
A partial denture may be suggested as a solution when a patient is only missing some of their teeth. These dentures are fitted to a metal framework or plastic base that is designed to fit snugly around the patient’s remaining teeth. Some patients who receive these dentures will use them as a permanent solution to their dental replacement needs. In other cases, they are designed and worn while the patient’s oral cavity heals from other treatments. Upon completion of the healing process, the partial denture will be removed, and permanent solutions put in place.
