If you have complete tooth loss, then you need a new smile again, and we can help! With dental implant support, we can provide full dentures that look and act like natural ones. In today’s blog, your Shrewsbury, MA, dentist talks about our full and lifelike hybrid dentures.
The Causes of Severe Tooth Loss
How does severe tooth loss actually happen? You could lose teeth to issues like tooth decay, infection, or injury. But the most common cause of advanced tooth loss is periodontitis, the advanced stage of gum disease. You need to seek replacement because of your missing teeth, since this could limit your meal options and deny you essential nutrients. Missing teeth could lead to issues with clear speech too, and the lack of tooth roots could cause the jawbone to weaken and erode. This means patients could develop an aged appearance! But we could help replace lost teeth with dental implant dentures.
Inserting Your New Roots
Hybrid dentures are fixed in place, meaning they don’t need to be removed for cleaning and soaking. We will insert as few as four dental implants into each arch, and these will bond with the jawbone and act like new roots. The body resumes to flow of nutrients that it ceased when the root went missing originally, and this protects the jaw and allows your new roots to stay in place for decades to come with proper care and attention. We will plan the process and guide it with advanced digital imaging, so your implants will sit at the perfect angle, positions, and depth to support new teeth and keep the jawbone intact too!
Attaching Your New Set of Teeth
Once your posts are in place and the area heals, we will attach abutments to each one that allows us to connect a prosthetic, a full row of new ceramic teeth that can handle daily bite forces with ease, and also be shaded to offer a lifelike appearance, so you can feel confident in your appearance and enjoy better bite function and oral health too. You also avoid the negative changes to your jawbone and facial structure that usually follows advanced tooth loss.
