Advances in dental technology have made it possible to address virtually every oral concern under the sun. Indeed, sometimes oral concerns develop at a much more rapid rate than we anticipate, meaning more extensive treatment is often involved. Whether you require a dental filling or to completely replace a tooth, our team has you covered and can help address your needs. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist explores the benefits of partial and full dentures, including how it can transform your smile in a number of different ways.

Replacing Missing Teeth

It goes without saying that nobody would opt to lose a permanent tooth if it could be avoided. And who would? There are not only cosmetic concerns that arise from a missing tooth, but functional and structural issues as well, not to mention the topic of how it impacts your oral health overall. Though tooth loss is often out of our control, there are certain practices to take note of or avoid in order to provide your grin with the best chances of success.

Though you may be among the minority that are not bothered by a small gap in your grin, it is still important to recognize the ways even a single missing structure can influence your health. For example, you endure an increased risk of infection, as oral bacteria and other microorganisms tend to nestle into the sensitive or hard-to-clean areas of the mouth. The fact of the matter is that it takes time for an area to heal, and your sensitive gums potentially offer a safe haven for these microorganisms. Give our team a call today to learn more about the need for replacing missing structures.

Improving Your Oral Function

In addition to the influence it has on your oral health, missing teeth will impact your oral function as well. You see, each and every tooth has a role in absorbing the pressure of your bite, and if one or more teeth are missing, the others must accommodate.

As you can imagine, missing all or almost all of your teeth is even more difficult for functional purposes. This includes biting, chewing, and other tasks aimed at helping you tear apart and digest foods. To assist with this concern, your dentist may recommend the help of partial or full dentures. Contact our team to learn more.
