The improvements in cosmetic dentistry have been beneficial for all Calgarians, but perhaps none more so than denture wearers. Here are just a few reasons why you might want to say YES to dentures.
Whether you opt for full or partial, dentures are a relatively inexpensive way to restore your appearance. They are highly recommended by Calgary denturists because they allow patients with significant tooth problems to:
Contrary to popular opinion, tooth loss is not always due to aging. There are multiple oral problems that lead to the necessity of dentures, including:
1. Injury
It’s common to have a tooth knocked out during a fall, accident, or contact sports. Clenching or grinding your teeth can also eventually wear them down and result in tooth loss. Sometimes, the teeth can be preserved, but this may not always be the case.
To protect your teeth, remember to NEVER use them to:
Have you sustained a serious tooth injury? Don’t worry! If you have experienced severe tooth/teeth damage from an accident, dentures can quickly and easily restore your smile.
2. Gum Disease
Gum disease, especially if left untreated, is a leading cause of tooth loss. Over the years, you may lose the bone and ligaments that support your teeth, making dentures necessary. Because gum disease can be quite painless, it’s important to look out for early symptoms such as:
3. Certain Medications
Some popular medicines, such as blood pressure medications, can damage teeth by reducing the protective effect of saliva in your mouth. Other drugs, such as treatments for chemotherapy, can impact your teeth by weakening your immune system and your oral health.
Without teeth, life can be a serious struggle. Tooth loss can make day-to-day tasks such as speaking and chewing very difficult. That’s why it’s important to visit a denturist if you have one or more teeth missing.
Here are three reasons why you should say YES to dentures:
1. Dentures Provide Support To Your Remaining Teeth
If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures can provide some much needed support between them to keep them in place. Without the support, it’s possible your teeth will ‘drift’ into your gums.
With the added support from your dentures, it’s also less likely that food particles will become trapped in unusual places in your mouth.
2. No More Pain
If you have gum disease or suffer from tooth decay, you may be experiencing pain on a daily basis. If a root canal isn’t possible, then removing the decayed teeth and replacing them with dentures can make you more comfortable.
3. Improved Quality of Life
If you’re missing several teeth, you may be self-conscious about your appearance. Dentures can fill in the gaps in your mouth and improve your sense of confidence, making you more open to enjoying life.
