1. Dentures in Cary, NC are not the only replacement for missing teeth
Dental implants used alone, or in combination with a partial denture, are often a better option for patients. Whereas a removable appliance replaces only the visible parts of your teeth, an implant replaces both the root and crown of a tooth. This has critical implications. Dental implants can prevent bone recession that typically occurs following tooth extractions. Dental implants can provide patients the near-normal ability to talk and chew.
2. There are more than one variety of dentures
Most men and women are familiar with the removable denture that replaces a complete upper or lower arch. There are also partial dentures in Cary, NC that are used for patients who have some natural teeth. Partial dentures can be permanent in the mouth or detachable.
3. Even if you have worn dentures for a while, you may be a good candidate for implant-anchored dentures
The vital factor is whether or not you have enough bone to support an implant. Bone grafting can augment bone in some cases. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Allan Acton or visit our website to find out if you are a well-suited candidate.
4. Regardless of your tooth replacement configuration, you still need to practice appropriate oral hygiene
Removable appliances should be cleaned daily. There really isn’t an exception to this rule. Even if you have full dentures, partial dentures, permanent dentures, or tooth implants, you should be cleaning them every single day.
5. Even if you have no natural teeth left, it’s vital that you have dental examinations twice a year
Optimal oral health is a fundamental component of overall physical well-being. Dr. Acton will examine your mouth for indications of diseases like cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes. It is also a good idea for your dentist to examine the condition of your appliance at your visit.
