When you have tooth loss too severe to be treated with a dental bridge or an individual dental implant, then you could benefit from a custom prosthetic. We can offer full, partial, and implant-supported options so you can enjoy a complete smile again. At Park Dental Arts in San Diego, CA, we can offer dentures of all kinds!
The Impact of Advanced Tooth Loss
Advanced tooth loss could be due to poor oral health or even an injury to your face or jaw. For most, this is due to the advanced stage of gum disease, known as periodontitis. When you lose a large number of your natural teeth, this limits your meal options and deprives you of essential nutrients. You could feel embarrassed about your appearance and may even have issues speaking clearly. As the body stops sending nutrients to the jawbone, this could cause a loss of mass and density linked to an aged appearance. To return your smile to optimal function and appearance, we can address major tooth loss with a set of dentures.
Full and Partial Options
To begin, we will examine your smile and may extract the last few teeth to make room for your new prosthetic. The prosthetic will be custom-made based on detailed digital images we take of your smile from multiple angles. We want a lifelike appearance and to ensure proper fit and better bite balance too. To replace every tooth on one of both arches, we can offer full dentures, which contain a complete row of teeth set in an acrylic base that mimics gum tissue. The partial can address multiple gaps across your smile, with new ceramic teeth set in a base that fit in the gaps. For removable options, suction, and adhesives will keep the full in place, while partials will contain metal clasps that attach to natural teeth. But we can also address them with dental implants!
Hybrid Dentures
With hybrid dentures, we will insert multiple dental implants into the jaw, which bond with the bone structure and can stay in place for decades to come, acting like real tooth roots. We then connect a custom-made set of dentures to them. These are fixed in place and never slip, lasting for decades to come or possibly even a lifetime.
Overdentures
Overdentures are a removable option that we can connect to dental implants, or we could connect them to remaining natural teeth to keep them in place! If you have any questions about our prosthetics, then contact our team today.
