Dentures aren’t on anyone’s bucket list are they? However, we regularly see patients hiding their smile for months, sometimes years due to missing teeth, who finally get their confidence back. And that’s actually pretty brilliant.
Missing teeth is tough. Really tough. You can’t eat properly, forget biting into an apple or enjoying a steak. Talking feels weird because air escapes through gaps. And the social side? We’ve had patients tell us that it has affected them going out meeting friends, affecting their dating life, avoided job interviews, and even skipped major events due to embarrassment.
The good news? We have offer several options to replace these gaps. There are removable dentures, fixed dental implants, implant retained dentures and bridges as well. Dentures fitting is improved with mini denture implants to make the denture feel more secure so that they don’t move when you talk and eat either. Dentures without the mini implants, are also great! We offer natural looking acrylic dentures, metal cobalt chrome dentures as well as the new Flexi Valpast dentures. Being in North-West London we are easily accessible for appointments.
What Actually Causes Tooth Loss?
Loads of reasons, honestly. Gum disease is a big one, which is why our specialist periodontist emphasizes about prevention so much. Once gum disease gets advanced, teeth can get looser and cause pain or infections or even fall out themselves. We also see decay that’s been ignored too long, cracked teeth, traumatic injuries, sporting accidents, or sometimes people are just unlucky with genetics.
Why Modern Dentures Are Actually Good Now
The dentures we make at our private dental clinic in Mill Hill, London are honestly impressive. Acrylic material and selection of teeth look natural. We match colour shade so precisely that people genuinely can’t tell the difference.
Partial dentures work around the teeth you’ve still got. Full ones replace everything when needed. Both types are way more comfortable than old-school versions, though you do need patience initially. Your mouth’s getting used to something new. Takes a few weeks, but most patients adapt fine. We recommend to eat softer to eventually chewing on harder foods over time with your new dentures.
Right, important bit: if you’re getting partial dentures, you absolutely must look after your remaining natural teeth. Book regular appointments with your family dentist in Mill Hill, London. Get that professional dentist teeth cleaning with the hygienist as recommended (about 3-6 monthly).
