Restorative Dentistry Dentures If you are missing teeth, whether the teeth were congenitally missing, lost or extracted due to dental problems, trauma or injury, dentures are a good option for teeth replacement. Dentures can be used to replace multiple teeth or the entire dentition (Partial dentures or full dentures).

Dentures go beyond just restoring the esthetics of a smile with missing teeth. It can improve one’s diet – as people with missing teeth may have trouble chewing food. It can improve one’s speech, restore the balance of biting forces and prevent teeth from shifting. In the case of people missing all their teeth, it can prevent the look of premature aging. Dentures can fill out the face as teeth help support the lips and facial structure. It prevents the characteristic hollow sunken-in cheeks, sagging lips and nasolabial fold.

Some of the more common complaints made about dentures is that they could look unnatural, be uncomfortable or painful to wear. As a result, some people elect to not wear their denture at all.

Implants Teeth are essential to maintain your jawbone. When a tooth or teeth are lost, the bone begins to deteriorate and gums begin to shrink. If you are missing a tooth, multiple teeth or have difficulty securing/ wearing a full denture, implants can be a great option for you. A dental implant is a titanium root, similar to the natural root of your tooth. Dental implants are surgically placed into the jaw bone. After an implant heals, a dental crown is attached to the top of the implant. Implants can also be used to anchor dental bridges or dentures into place.
