Dental health is a critical aspect of our overall health. Yet, as we age, dental problems can become more frequent and severe. One common solution to these problems is dentures. But are dentures a permanent solution? In this blog post, we'll explore the reality of dentures and their longevity.
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two types: complete and partial.
Dentures can help restore your smile if you've lost all or some of your natural teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or injury. But the question remains, are they a permanent solution?
In general, dentures are durable and can last several years. However, they may need to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to normal wear, changes in your mouth, or if they become loose.
While dentures are a long-lasting solution, they are not considered permanent as they require periodic replacement or adjustment.
Proper care can extend the lifespan of your dentures. This involves daily cleaning, handling them carefully and having regular dental checkups.
This routine will not only keep your dentures in good shape but also contribute to your overall oral health.
Yes, dental implants are a more permanent and natural-feeling alternative to dentures. They are surgically placed in the jawbone and act like the roots of missing teeth.
However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for dental implants. Your dentist can help you determine the best solution for your specific needs.
