Dentures

 

Tooth loss is something that affects millions of people every year, luckily in modern day dentistry and there are several options to replace them including dental implants, fixed bridges and dentures. It is important that missing teeth are replaced straight away for the following reasons:

 

Teeth adjacent to the gap (where the tooth was lost) begin to move towards the gap and cause functional bite problems.

 

Missing teeth can result in bone loss and shrinkage of your jawbone over time and cause the facial muscles to sag.

 

There are two main types of dentures that are used to replace missing teeth, full dentures which replace a full set of either upper or lower teeth and partial dentures which only replace a few missing teeth.
