If you want a full smile that looks natural again, then you should see our team. With a set of full dentures, we can offer a complete smile. In today’s blog, Cedar West Dental in Richfield, MN, talks about how our team can provide a lifelike appearance with a set of full and lifelike dentures!
The Loss of Your Natural Teeth
How do we lose a significant number of our natural teeth? Major tooth loss could be due to a serious injury, and teeth could also be lost due to factors like severe tooth decay or advanced dental infection. The most common factor behind major tooth loss like this is periodontitis, the stage of gum disease linked to attachment loss and missing teeth. When you lose so many of your natural teeth, then you need to see our team for treatment. Otherwise, your jaw could weaken until you develop an older appearance. Your ability to eat and even speak clearly is also limited. But we can help with a complete set of new teeth!
Creating Custom Dentures
Our team will numb the smile and then gently remove the last few teeth. Next, we will take detailed digital images and impressions of your bite, which we will use in a dental lab setting to design and fabricate your new prosthetic. Your denture will contain a full row of new and lifelike ceramic teeth, all set in an acrylic base that looks like gum tissue. Being custom-made ensures they fit properly, and restores your ability to eat a greater variety of food and smile with confidence again.
Securing and Maintaining Your New Smile
How do we secure your new teeth firmly in place? We could use natural suction or possibly the assistance of an adhesive to keep your full dentures secure during the day. You then clean and soak them regularly to ensure they stay in proper shape and fit comfortably for years to come. They tend to need replacement every 5 to 10 years as the shape to the jaw ridge gradually changes. Our team will discuss what you need to know to carefully protect and maintain your prosthetic, ensuring they can last for years to come and restore function and beauty to your bite.
