If you are looking for exceptional dentures in North Canton, Ohio, Osborne Family Dental has you covered. Dr. Osborne is a skilled dentist who treats you like family. He tries to preserve and maintain your teeth as long as possible, preventing gum disease and cavities along the way. As a last resort, a tooth may have to be extracted. There are several cost-effective options for replacing missing teeth, including exceptional dentures. It is not always necessary to pull all your teeth and get a full set of dentures.
Replace Missing Teeth
Chewing becomes more and more difficult as more teeth are extracted. Soon you are on a soft food diet or are swallowing half chewed food that can lead to digestive tract problems. There are ways to solve this problem with artificial teeth.
There are several options:
- Tooth Implants
A tooth implant is an artificial tooth and root that is anchored into the jaw bone and functions like a regular tooth. The best part is that it is not removable. You brush it and maintain it like a real tooth. An implant looks like your tooth, and it doesn’t move around. It is also a stable anchor for future partials that you may need. - Partial dentures and bridges
Partial dentures and bridges are artificial teeth that replace a few teeth that are missing in one area of your mouth. Partials have metal hooks that fasten on other teeth and are removable for cleaning. They are usually a cost effective solution. Bridges are permanently attached to your other teeth. Both partials and bridges look like your teeth and help you chew better. - Full dentures
A full set of dentures replaces all your teeth with artificial teeth that look like yours. They are removable for cleaning. They are made using a natural looking material that is durable and stain resistant.
Care for Your Dentures
Dentures require daily cleaning with a soft brush and a cleaning product sold especially for dentures. Brushing inside and outside of the dentures helps to eliminate harmful bacteria that can cause problems. We recommend soaking them overnight in water or in a cleaning product designed for dentures. Caution should be taken while cleaning them that they are not dropped. Prevent expensive breakage if you accidentally drop them by cleaning them over a sink full of water.
Continue Your Dental Visits
Annual dental checkups should continue even if you have lost some or all of your teeth. Dr. Osborne will evaluate the fit of your dentures and check for other health concerns in your mouth, such as oral cancer.
The jaw bone shrinks over time which may cause a change in the fit of dentures. It is normal for your mouth to change, dentures to wear down, and changes to occur in the fit of dentures. Adjustments can be made. Dentures can be relined to fit the changes in your gums.
