Partial Dentures Can Be the Solution

Teeth take a lot of daily wear and tear. Sometimes we can crack or chip a tooth and it can be easy to disregard those minor chips or cracks in our teeth, especially if they do not cause us any pain. If not given prompt attention, your teeth can end up costing you thousands of dollars due to carelessness and negligence. Premature wearing of the teeth can eventually lead to dental procedures ultimately resulting in the use of dentures to help rectify the situation which can be easily prevented.

If a tooth falls out or needs to be removed due to decay, injury, or an accident, it needs to be replaced as soon as possible. When one or more teeth are missing the mouth along with the rest of the teeth need to work harder meaning you may subconsciously be using one side of your mouth more which can cause the teeth on that side to wear down faster.

Missing teeth can cause the structure of your jawbone to change which can result in an aged look. The teeth next to the gap of the missing tooth can also try to fill that gap by growing sideways which can cause further chewing and jaw problems. Missing teeth can not only cause your jawbone to slowly weaken and shrink, eating foods such as meats, vegetables, and other foods with tough or textures can become very difficult to eat causing much pain. The pressure that is put on your teeth by chewing foods is more evenly distributed when you have a full set of teeth. Missing teeth can also cause the remaining natural teeth to develop intense sensitivity which can make eating or drinking hot or cold foods painful. Partial dentures in Surrey help regulate this issue by giving your jaw and natural teeth the support they need.

If you are only missing a few teeth, partial dentures services in Surrey may be the solution you need to maintain good oral health. Partial dentures latch onto the natural teeth around the gaps giving your remaining natural teeth support preventing them from shifting further. Partial dentures use the remaining natural teeth to essentially clip on, making them easy to care for, and quite comfortable. They can work to make your teeth look natural and real and are created to custom to fit your mouth and match with the surrounding teeth.

An added benefit of partial dentures is that they can help you avoid expensive dental surgeries later on. With partial dentures, your natural teeth will shift less, and the natural wear and tear your teeth experience daily will be distributed evenly. This will result in your natural teeth lasting longer and improving the condition of your jawbone and nearby teeth.

Aside from causing difficulties while eating, having missing teeth can greatly impact our self-confidence, self-worth, as well as our speech. Partial dentures Most people will never be able to guess that you are wearing partial dentures. While dentures of any kind can be very costly, investing in partial dentures for a couple of missing teeth is far less expensive than having to undergo dental surgery and paying to have more teeth extracted.

Our teeth are continuously working and because of this, it is normal for them to experience some natural wear and tear. If you feel like your teeth are weakening or shifting, consult with the dentists and hygiene specialists in Surrey and ask about partial dentures.
