A confident smile can light up a room, but more importantly, it reflects good oral health and overall well-being. If you’re living with missing teeth, the impacts go beyond aesthetics; they can affect your oral health and quality of life. At the Center for Dental Anesthesia in Alexandria, VA, near Washington, DC, Dr. James Geren and Dr. Zeyad Mady are here to help restore your smile and confidence with a range of advanced solutions tailored to your needs.
The Impact of Missing Teeth
Missing teeth are about much more than appearance. Here’s how they can affect your oral health and daily life:
- Bone loss: Without a tooth root to stimulate the jawbone, bone density decreases over time, leading to changes in facial structure.
- Shifting teeth: Missing teeth can cause adjacent teeth to shift out of alignment, leading to bite problems or difficulty chewing.
- Difficulty eating and speaking: Gaps in your teeth may make it challenging to enjoy your favorite foods or articulate words.
- Gum disease risk: Open spaces increase the risk of bacteria accumulation, putting you at a higher risk of infections and gum disease.
- Decreased confidence: Many individuals feel self-conscious about their smile, which can impact their social and professional interactions.
Don’t let missing teeth destroy your smile or reduce your quality of life. Replacing them is a key step toward better oral health and regaining self-confidence.
Options for Replacing Missing Teeth
At the Center for Dental Anesthesia, we offer a variety of high-quality denture options to suit your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for a traditional solution or state-of-the-art technology, we’re here to guide you.
Implant Dentures vs Traditional Dentures
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth. They rest on the gums and can be used effectively to restore function and appearance. Benefits include:
- Cost-effective
- Non-invasive (no surgery required)
- Quick to produce and fit
However, traditional dentures are not fixed and may require adjustments over time as your jawbone changes or shrinks.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a modern, advanced solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a strong foundation for permanent or removable dentures. Benefits include:
- Secure and stable fit
- Helps prevent bone loss
- Natural feel and appearance
- Long-lasting solution
When deciding between these options, our experts will discuss your oral health, lifestyle, and preferences to determine the best fit for you.
