Dentures Questions & Answers
How much do dentures cost?
The cost varies with ever Laguna Niguel dentist, but complete dentures can range from $600 to $2,500 for a set, while partials may cost between $300 to $1,500, depending on materials and complexity. Some dental insurances cover a portion of the cost.
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last between 5 to 7 years before they may need to be replaced due to wear or fit changes.
What are the risks of leaving tooth loss untreated
Leaving tooth loss untreated poses various risks that can affect both oral health and overall well-being:
- Jawbone Deterioration: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area can begin to deteriorate over time due to lack of stimulation from chewing and biting. This can lead to bone loss and changes in facial structure.
- Shifting of Surrounding Teeth: Adjacent teeth may gradually shift or tilt into the space left by the missing tooth, leading to misalignment issues, bite problems, and potential TMJ disorders.
- Gum Disease: Gaps between teeth provide ideal spaces for food particles and bacteria to accumulate, increasing the risk of gum disease, inflammation, and infection.
- Compromised Facial Structure: Tooth loss can cause changes in facial appearance, including sagging of the cheeks and lips, which can prematurely age the face.
- Speech Impairment: Missing teeth can affect speech clarity and pronunciation, leading to difficulties in communication and potential self-consciousness.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Difficulty chewing due to tooth loss can limit food choices and impair proper nutrition, potentially leading to deficiencies in essential nutrients.
- Psychological Impact: Tooth loss can significantly impact self-esteem, confidence, and social interactions, leading to feelings of embarrassment and withdrawal from social situations.
How do I care for my dentures?
Clean them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, soak them overnight in a denture solution, and handle them carefully to avoid damage.
How What are implant dentures?
Implant dentures, crafted from materials like acrylic or porcelain, offer a reliable remedy for tooth loss. They provide the stability of dental implants, mimicking natural tooth roots, and demonstrate remarkable durability in contrast to traditional dentures.
Additionally, implant dentures enhance chewing efficiency and speech clarity, promoting a more comfortable and confident smile. Unlike conventional dentures, they prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, preserving facial structure and preventing premature aging.
How long does it take to recover from denture placement?
Recovery time varies for each individual but typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks as you adjust to wearing and speaking with your new dentures.
