A dental bridge is not the only way to address tooth loss. If you have a more complex case, with multiple missing teeth in your smile, then you should consider a denture. With a partial denture, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, can take on complicated tooth loss. You can enjoy a complete smile again, with results that look natural too!
Looking at Complex Tooth Loss
With complex tooth loss, you don’t have a single gap in your smile, but you could have several spread out across the arch of your smile. If you are missing most of your teeth, we can extract the last few to pave the way for a set of full dentures. But if you have a significant number of natural teeth still in place, then this is not necessary. For these cases, we can take on every gap at once with a single prosthetic: the partial.
Creating a Partial Denture
Our team will carefully examine your smile to assess the cause of your tooth loss. We can then tackle the underlying factors, such as gum disease, to help protect your remaining natural teeth and ensure the best fit for your partial. We then take detailed images of your bite, which we will use in a lab setting to design and craft your denture. Your prosthetic will contain new ceramic teeth that we shade to blend with your smile. These are set in a base that mimics the appearance of gum tissue.
Securing Your New Prosthetic
When your partial is ready, we will check the fit and discuss how to secure it in place each day. Metal clasps will attach to natural teeth to keep your new prosthetic firmly in place. This will need to be removed for cleaning and soaking regularly, and will last about 5 to 10 years on average. We will discuss how to best care for your new teeth and keep them bright and long-lasting. You will be able to eat your favorite foods again and smile with confidence!
If you have any questions about how we help take on more severe and complicated cases of tooth loss with a set of partials, or if you want to start the treatment process now, then reach out to our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help you smile with confidence again, and enjoy results that look incredible!
