Replace What Was Lost with Partials and Dentures from Cottage Dental Care
We all do our best to keep our teeth in healthy shape. However, we are sometimes faced with the unfortunate scenario of losing teeth or needing to have teeth removed. However, just because you’re missing your original teeth doesn’t mean you need to go without a beautiful smile. With partials and dentures, you can replace lost teeth and ensure your mouth and jaw stay healthy for years to come.
What are Dentures and Partials?
Dentures are a removable replacement for patients missing their teeth. However, dentures aren’t only what you picture your grandmother keeping in a glass next to her nightstand. There are also options for partial dentures or “partials.” Partials are the same as dentures but differ in that they act as a replacement for a portion of your teeth, not your entire mouth.
Why Might You Need Dentures?
The good news is, with consistent dental care, your chances of ever needing dentures are incredibly low! However, dentures or partials might be the best option to restore your smile for those suffering from tooth decay or lost teeth in an accidental impact.
- Signs of Severe Tooth Decay
- The tell-tale signs of tooth decay can include chronic toothaches, swollen or bleeding gums, or loose teeth. And while we will first take steps to reverse tooth decay, if your teeth are too far gone, replacing them with partials or dentures is something worth considering.
- Chewing Problems or Indigestion
- If missing teeth in your mouth, it might be more difficult for you to chew food. This can put undue stress on your remaining teeth. Furthermore, if you cannot thoroughly chew your food, you might experience indigestion problems. Dentures or partials can take the place of missing teeth and help your issues with chewing.
- Knocked-Out Teeth
- While we do our best to protect our mouths, accidents can happen. A stray baseball or a fall down the stairs can sometimes lead to the loss of teeth. And if you are missing teeth, even if only one or two, this can cause issues with chewing, tooth decay, or insecurity. Partials, sometimes in combination with tooth implants, can rectify problems with missing teeth.
