If you have missing teeth, we can help with custom dental prosthetics. From bridges to partial dentures, we can take on minor and even complex tooth loss. In today’s blog, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about replacing missing teeth with custom prosthetics.
The Need for Dental Replacement
When do you need to see our team for a custom dental prosthetic? If you have lost a tooth, even just one, this could pose serious risks for your smile. The same is true if you lose several, especially in a complex situation in which several are missing across your smile. When you have missing teeth, your alignment changes to further impact your oral health, and you could have issues with meals or even clear speech. To avoid these issues and restore function and beauty to your smile. We will secure a dental prosthetic that looks natural and provides durable and long-lasting replacement. We can replace your missing teeth with custom prosthetics!
Dental Bridges
When you have lost one tooth, or as many as two to three in a row, then we can help with a dental bridge. With this custom bridge, our team can address minor tooth loss and offer a full and beautiful smile. This will contain one to three new teeth with crowns on each end, all made from ceramic that can be shaded for a natural appearance. We then attach the crown portions to the abutment teeth on each side of the gap in your smile, supporting your new teeth for years to come, often as many as 15 with proper care and attention!
Partial Dentures
If you have lost several teeth and these gaps are spread out across your smile, then you have a situation too severe to be handled with a bridge alone. Instead, we may need a set of partial dentures. This is a single prosthetic that contains several teeth, all made from lifelike ceramic and set in an acrylic base. When worn, the partial replaces the new teeth in all of the gaps at once, so you have a full smile. This will be secured with clasps that attach to natural teeth, and can last for about 10 years in most cases.
If you have any questions about how we treat missing teeth with custom bridges and partials, or if you want to see if a bridge or partial is right for you, then contact our team today to learn more and get started on your journey to a full smile!
