Dentures and Partials
Missing teeth can significantly affect your life and your health. Living without teeth is not an option for most people, so you need to replace them. When you need to replace several teeth, a denture or a partial denture is often the best choice. A full denture replaces all your upper and/or lower teeth. If you still have some of your natural teeth, you can get a partial denture to replace just the ones you are missing.
Losing your teeth is not a natural part of aging, and can lead to significant health consequences, especially for older adults. Fortunately, good hygiene is allowing more people to keep their natural teeth longer. However, you eventually may need dentures.
Benefits of Dentures and Partials
Dentures have developed somewhat of a bad reputation over the years, but the reality for millions of people is that dentures provide the ability to chew, maintain facial volume, smile and talk when your natural teeth are gone. With many new advances in denture technology, they look and feel more natural and comfortable than ever before.
Dentures provide many benefits to those who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. They:
- Help restore lost facial volume, so you can avoid sunken cheeks
- Allow you to smile without feeling self-conscious about missing some or all of your teeth
- Prevent your remaining teeth from shifting around inside your mouth, which can necessitate more extensive dental work in the future
- Protect and strengthen your gums and jaw
Without teeth, even if you are able to get all your nutrients from liquids, your jawbone and gums will weaken, which can lead to other health consequences.
