Tooth loss poses various challenges, including increased self-consciousness, decreased chewing ability, speech difficulties, and bite problems. Addressing tooth loss quickly is key to preventing these long-term tooth loss consequences. If you’d like to close the gaps in your smile, our dentists recommend dentures.
A denture is a dental prosthesis with pontic teeth supported by a gum-colored base. Partial dentures are ideal for patients who’ve lost several teeth adjacent to each other. They’re an alternative to dental bridges. In contrast, our dentists recommend complete dentures for patients who’ve experienced total tooth loss, also known as edentulism.
