Answer Key
- True. Multiple missing teeth can lead to problems eating a variety of foods. You are then forced to subsists mainly on soft foods, which deprives your body of essential nutrients. In addition, advanced tooth loss can cause difficulty speaking clearly.
- True. A partial means we don’t have to remove any more of your teeth, allowing you to obtain a prosthetic even if you still have many of your natural teeth. The partial uses metal clasps that attach to the remaining teeth, anchoring the denture in place.
- True. This is actually true of all our dentures (and restoration!). We create them by taking detailed digital impressions of your smile. We can then design and create a custom-made prosthetic. The dentures will have an acrylic base designed to look like natural gum tissue, as well as a full row of lifelike replacement teeth.
- True. Instead of relying on metal clasps or natural suction, we can insert implants into the jawbone. The denture will be held in place, fixed, and can last for a significantly longer amount of time.
