When you have tooth loss too severe for an individual implant or a bridge, but you have enough natural teeth that a complete fixed denture isn’t necessary, you need a partial. Our team can use dental implants to secure the prosthetic and restore the beauty and function of your smile. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX, dentist talks about our dental implant partial dentures.
The Difficulty of Advanced Tooth Loss
Partials are meant to address complex cases of tooth loss, such as gaps spread out across the arch of your smile. This could mean a bridge isn’t enough to address these multiple gaps, but you still have enough natural teeth that extracting them to pave the way for a full denture is excessive. A partial is designed to provide new teeth that fit between these gaps, restoring function, health, and beauty to your smile once again.
Creating Your New Prosthetic
Every smile is different, which is why we offer custom-made dental prosthetics. Your prosthetic will be created based on detailed digital images we take of your smile. We use the images and measurements to create a prosthetic that will fit comfortably and offer a balanced bite. The denture will contain new teeth set in an acrylic base. The new teeth will be made from ceramic, which we can shade to blend with your smile. They also offer a durable chewing surface too. The base is designed to look like gum tissue. Typically, metal clasps keep these in place. But with an implant-secured option, we have a more advanced way of keeping them in place.
Implant Placement and More
Our team will guide the dental implants into your jaw, setting them at an angle and position that stimulates the growth of jawbone tissue and supports your new dentures. These actions help ensure your new roots can last for decades, so your prosthetic doesn’t need to be replaced. Once we attach the denture, you have fixed replacement teeth that never slip when you eat or speak. They also don’t need to be removed for cleaning or soaking either! Instead, you have new teeth that look and function like natural ones.
