Dentures

Are you struggling with missing teeth and feeling self-conscious about your smile? Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people face dental issues that lead to tooth loss, affecting not only their appearance but also their confidence. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a solution,i.e., dentures.

What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They're custom-made to fit snugly in your mouth, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Whether you're missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures can provide a natural-looking solution.

Various Types of Dentures provided by Bouquet Dental

• Complete Dentures: These are used when all teeth are missing in either the upper or lower arch or both. They are usually maintained in place by suction and rest directly on the gums.
• Partial Dentures: When a person still has some natural teeth, partial dentures are advised. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured base, which is supported by a metal framework that clasps onto existing teeth for stability.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are anchored in place by dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. They offer superior stability and function compared to traditional dentures and help prevent bone loss in the jaw.

Who may need Dentures?

Dentures offer a versatile and practical solution for individuals facing various dental challenges, helping them maintain oral health, functionality, and confidence. Here are some conditions that may require dentures.

Complete Tooth Loss: Individuals who have lost all of their natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw or both may benefit from complete dentures to restore their ability to chew, speak, and smile.

Partial Tooth Loss: Those with significant tooth loss but still retain some natural teeth may require partial dentures to fill in the gaps and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position.

Severe Tooth Decay or Damage: Untreated tooth decay, extensive dental damage, or advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can lead to tooth loss, making dentures a viable option for restoring oral function and aesthetics.

Difficulty Chewing or Speaking: Missing teeth can impair proper chewing and speaking, affecting overall nutrition and communication. Dentures help individuals regain these essential functions, improving their quality of life.

Cosmetic Concerns: Many people seek dentures to enhance their smile's appearance and boost their self-confidence, especially if tooth loss affects the front teeth or causes noticeable gaps.

Bone Loss in the Jaw: Tooth loss can result in bone resorption (loss) in the jawbone, leading to changes in facial structure and appearance. Dentures can help support the jawbone and prevent further deterioration.

Failed Dental Treatments: In cases where other dental treatments, such as root canals or dental implants, are not viable options or have failed, dentures may be recommended to restore oral function and aesthetics.

Age-Related Tooth Loss: Older adults are more prone to tooth loss due to factors like ageing, wear and tear, and oral health issues. Dentures are commonly prescribed for seniors to maintain oral function and overall well-being.

Traumatic Injury: Accidents, sports injuries, or other traumatic events can cause severe damage to teeth, leading to their loss. Dentures can help restore normal oral function and appearance after such injuries.
