If so, then don\u2019t feel bad. Dentures can be the start of a new\nand active part of your life. The advantages of dentures include a restored smile,\nthe ability to eat a wider variety of foods, and freedom from the personal and\nsocial limitations imposed by tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes Dentures Necessary for Some People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people grew up with\nlittle or no access to regular dental care. Some of us suffer from a greater\nrisk of dental problems due to hereditary, environmental, or lifestyle factors.\nEven a single missing tooth can put you at greater risk for widespread tooth\nloss, a problem that typically becomes worse as we age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, modern dentistry\nhas a number of ways of treating this common problem, including dentures. Here\nare some signs that you may stand to benefit from this safe, effective form of\nsmile restoration therapy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>If your dental problems are causing you to suffer ongoing\nor significant discomfort: <\/strong>few things\nimpact your ability to enjoy life more than tooth pain. While extraction is\nnever the ideal solution for aching teeth, sometimes it\u2019s necessary for the\npatient\u2019s well-being.<\/li><li><strong>If your tooth loss is affecting your ability to eat a\nnutritious, well-rounded diet: <\/strong>staying\nhealthy takes a balanced diet that includes plenty of protein, complex carbs,\nhealthy unsaturated fats, vitamins, and minerals. <\/li><li><strong>If your missing teeth are causing you social\nawkwardness or loss of self-esteem: <\/strong>tooth\nloss can affect you on a personal as well as a physical level. It\u2019s hard to put\nyour best foot forward if your smile isn\u2019t all it could be. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of denture your\ndentist recommends will depend upon the nature of your tooth loss, the\ncondition of your remaining teeth, and the health of the underlying jawbone.\nHere\u2019s a look at the three most popular options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Partial dentures:<\/strong>\nthis is a good option for those who still retain many of their healthy teeth. It\ncan be removed as needed for cleaning or for other purposes.<\/li><li><strong>Full dentures: <\/strong>these\ncan be used to replace either your upper or lower teeth or both at the same\ntime. Traditional dentures are held in place by pressure against the gum line\nalong with some form of dental adhesive.<\/li><li><strong>Implant dentures:\n<\/strong>this is an alternative to traditional\nadhesive dentures. The restoration is held in place by small titanium fixtures\nembedded beneath the gum line. Unlike adhesive dentures, implant dentures cannot\ncome loose accidentally. On the other hand, implant dentures do require having\nenough underlying jawbone to support the restoration. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Final Word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only your dentist in\nAnnapolis can tell you if dentures are the solution you\u2019re looking for. Talk to\nhim or her about your tooth restoration options during your next appointment.\nYou\u2019ll soon find yourself with lots of reasons to smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jeremy Goodman is a second-generation dentist who earned his DDS degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, the same school his father attended years before.
