If so, you might be wondering if they are the right option for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glastonburysmiles.com\/full-and-partial-dentures.html\">Dentures<\/a> have been a reliable solution for many years, helping people restore both the function and appearance of their teeth. Read on to learn if dentures could be the right fit for your dental needs.<\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Problem with Missing Teeth<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you lose a tooth, it&rsquo;s important to understand that your jawbone might start to shrink. This happens because the bone lacks the stimulation it gets from chewing with a tooth. Biting and chewing normally keep the jawbone strong and support your teeth.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without teeth, the jawbone can weaken, altering your facial shape and increasing the risk of losing more teeth. Therefore, it&rsquo;s crucial to replace missing teeth and maintain a healthy, strong jawbone.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Dentures Function<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good news! Even if you have bone resorption, you can still get dentures, which can help slow down the process. There are various types of dentures to suit your needs. If you&rsquo;re missing a few teeth, partial dentures can fill the gaps. If you&rsquo;ve lost all your teeth on the top, bottom, or both, full dentures can be custom-made for you.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dentures consist of a base with artificial teeth attached. While dental implants can provide more stability, dentures rely mostly on muscle control to stay in place. Denture adhesive can be used temporarily for added support and stability if needed.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoiding Jawbone Deterioration<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular and proper use of dentures can significantly help prevent or slow down jawbone loss. Dentures stimulate the gums, aiding in maintaining the jawbone&#8217;s strength and structure, and promoting overall oral health.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it&#8217;s important to note that this stimulation might not be fully effective if the dentures don&#8217;t fit well. While dentures can slow bone loss, they can&#8217;t completely stop it, as natural mouth changes continue over time.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dentures provide a practical and aesthetic solution for long-term tooth loss, though they won&#8217;t entirely stop bone resorption. With proper care, dentures can significantly improve the quality of life for those needing tooth replacements.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carroll Family Dentistry, located in Glastonbury, is led by Dr. Veronica Yu and Dr. John Carroll.
