Over time, inconsistencies in your practices of oral hygiene can result in chronic issues with periodontal disease, especially if you frequently delay or skip your routine dental checkups. If gum disease causes severe tooth loss, you may need to receive dentures to restore your smile.
Infection that occurs in the gums near the tooth roots could result in the loss of multiple teeth, as well as weaken the once-healthy bone structure in the jaw. Even teeth that don’t fall out could experience problems such as compromised roots and weakened caused by advanced tooth decay.
If your teeth are beyond saving, our dentist may recommend that they be extracted and your gums prepared to receive a complete denture. Following the removal of the teeth, we can create an impression of the area so that your complete denture can be custom created in a dental lab to fit your mouth’s unique shape and fulfill your oral needs. To ensure your dentures provide the needed stability, you may find using denture adhesive to be helpful, especially because it can block out any stray particles from food that try to stick between the gums and the dentures and cause irritation.
