You are a good candidate for dentures if you have missing teeth and would like to replace them. Missing teeth can lower your self-confidence in public and decrease your quality of life significantly. Here’s where South Loop dentures come in.
What are dentures
A denture is a removable set of replacement teeth. They come in two types: complete and partial dentures. Your orthodontist will recommend full dentures when all your teeth on one or both jaws are missing. Partial dentures are used to cover missing gaps when some natural teeth remain.
How do they work?
Dentures only sit on the gums in place of the missing teeth. Once you opt for dentures, your dentist will measure your oral space and customize replacement teeth that look exactly like natural teeth. Partial dentures use adjacent teeth as anchors to remain stable in the mouth while complete dentures may use an adhesive or just sit in place. The downside to this technique is that your jawbone is likely to resorb over time. It often leads to further bone loss and tooth loss. However, dentures are a perfect solution for temporary tooth replacement.
Are there alternatives to dentures?
Thanks
to modern dentistry and technology, South Loop dentures have
alternatives such as implant-supported dentures that eliminate the
cons of conventional dentures. Also, standard dental implants are
perfect alternatives. They offer more stability, durability, and more
comfort.
