Restore your smile with dentures from your Tarpon Springs Dentist

The technology behind dentures has been around for centuries. Through hundreds of years of development, we now have an efficient, cost-effective way to restore functionality after tooth loss. Dentures may be made to replace only a few teeth or all teeth, depending on the needs of the individual patient.

Tooth loss may occur for a number of reasons, as teeth are susceptible to many elements. Though the loss or failure of natural teeth tends to be associated with age, the direct cause of tooth loss is more likely decay, disease, or injury. Conditions such as gum disease have a large effect on the stability of teeth and may eventually lead to tooth loss if not treated. Fortunately, we have a greater knowledge base for the treatment of various oral conditions today than ever before. Dentists also have advanced technologies that enable patients to replace missing teeth and restore their confidence.

Ideally, we would like to help our patients retain their natural teeth. Dr. Gjelaj works with patients on a preventive basis and provides prompt care to restore damaged structure when necessary. When repair is not possible, dentures can pave the path to renewed confidence and improved quality of life. A well-fitting denture provides sufficient chewing function, which is necessary for healthy digestion. A well-designed denture restores the natural beauty and allows the patient to smile with confidence.

Dentures are made with high-quality materials that mimic the natural characteristics of teeth and gums. No longer do dentures look like "chicklets," in which all teeth are the same color and size. Using advanced skill and beautiful acrylic, your dentist can make your new smile look as natural as the one you were born with, with the colors of artificial teeth and gums shaded perfectly to complement your complexion.

The primary concern that many people experience with dentures is instability. This is due to the natural loss of bone that occurs in the absence of teeth roots. To solve this problem, Dr. Gjelaj may suggest that dentures be stabilized with a few dental implants.
