Why Consider Options for Missing Teeth

Many people think that you would only want to replace missing teeth for cosmetic purposes. The truth is, though, missing teeth can have a huge impact not only on your looks, but also on the way you talk and chew your food. When chewing food is difficult or painful, it can start to affect your nutrition and your overall health. Being able to eat healthy food is critical to your health. A strong set of teeth is necessary for this. Although replacing your missing teeth will have a drastic effect on the appearance of your smile, it can also have a drastic effect on your health as well.

Tooth Replacement Options

There are a few different options available for those looking to replace missing teeth.

  • Partial Dentures- Partial dentures are a dental device created specifically for your mouth which will replace a few teeth. This is a good option for people who have most of their teeth intact and in good health.
  • Traditional Dentures- Traditional dentures replace all the teeth using a denture device. This device is removable and can be taken out whenever you like. Traditional dentures are custom made to fit your mouth.
  • Permanent Dentures- Permanent dentures are replacement teeth which are permanently implanted into your jawbone. These dentures will, over time, feel more like natural permanent teeth.

To decide which type of teeth replacement option is right for you, you will need to sit down with Dr. Claire Cho to discuss your options.
