Dentures
When you lose one or more teeth, it impacts your smile and oral health. Without the support from a full smile, your facial muscles sag, causing you to look older. Chew and eating become difficult, so you may restrict your diet. People often feel self-conscious about how they look, which can affect quality of life.
Missing teeth can:
- Add to TMJ problems
- Contribute to further tooth loss
- Impair speech
- Increase risk of tooth decay and gum disease
Modern dentures can restore your smile and dental health. If you have lost all your teeth on the upper, lower, or both arches, you will need a full set of dentures. Partial dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth, attaching to neighboring teeth with inconspicuous metal clasps.
Because we want your smile to look and feel as natural as possible, Dr. Cannon will take detailed measurements and molds for the creation of your replacement teeth. When the dental lab sends us your custom prosthesis, you will return so that Dr. Cannon can check the fit to ensure maximum stability and function. It may take several months for your mouth to become accustomed to your new dentures.
