More than 36 million Americans are dealing with complete tooth loss, and 120 million are missing at least one tooth. Unfortunately, these numbers are only expected to rise over the next 20 years. From gum disease and injury to decay, there are many reasons why someone may lose a tooth, but our Roseville, MN, general dentist Dr. Tamara Simons can offer dentures to replace several or all of your missing teeth.
Here are some of the benefits of getting dentures,
Prevent Teeth from Drifting
One of the most important things you can do after tooth loss is to see a dentist to determine your treatment options. The sooner you replace a missing tooth the better for the overall health of your smile. This is because changes begin to take place not long after you lose a tooth.
For one, the rest of your natural teeth will eventually shift into those open spaces between teeth. Of course, this only happens if you choose not to replace your missing teeth. By placing dentures in these spaces we can prevent any natural teeth that remain from shifting out of alignment.
Make Talking and Chewing Easier
While it will take a few weeks to get accustomed to your new teeth, both partial and custom dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth. Once the restoration is made you will come back into our office so that our Roseville, MN, dentist can check the overall fit to make sure that it feels comfortable. This ensures that you get a set of false teeth that are able to make it easy to talk to those around you and enjoy eating again.
Get New Teeth Quickly
For many of our patients, the goal is to get their new teeth as quickly as possible. We understand that you don’t want to spend one more day with gaps in your smile. If you want to get new teeth in just a couple of weeks, then dentures may be the best option for you. In as little as two appointments you could be fitted for your new teeth. During your consultation, we will be able to give you a better estimate of your length of treatment.
Feel More Confident in Your Appearance
We know the toll that tooth loss can take on your appearance and your confidence. By getting dentures to restore several or even all of your teeth we can help restore your confidence once more.
