In life, teeth can be lost for a wide variety of different reasons. Illness can cause us to lose teeth, sports injuries can cause us to lose a tooth, bad habits like smoking and general lack of oral hygiene can all lead to tooth loss. Unfortunately, tooth loss can have a massive effect on a person. <\/span><\/p>\n Physically it can lead to the surrounding teeth becoming crooked and it may also affect eating and speech. Aesthetically it can change the way a person looks hugely, especially if more than one tooth is lost. <\/span><\/p>\n Ideally, your dentist nearby to Shepherds Bush<\/a> will be able to help you avoid the chain reaction that can begin at the loss of a single tooth, and they may well do that with dentures.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dentures are teeth you can take out of your mouth and they are usually made from plastic, nylon or metal. They should fit onto the gums well and enable a person to stay looking, speaking and eating as they did with natural teeth. \u00a0<\/span>You can have partial or complete dentures depending on your needs and this can be decided during a consultation with your dentist. If you have complete dentures they will usually be fitted once all the teeth from one or both arches are removed, or have fallen out. <\/span><\/p>\n If you have been without dentures and have no teeth, then the dentures may need remaking or adjusting after 3 or 4 months because the bones and gums are realigning back to their original shape. It may be that you have a trial denture made to try out so you and the dentist can work on fit and the way the dentures look to make sure they are right for you. <\/span>If you have partial dentures they will usually clip onto your remaining teeth and can be easily taken out. <\/span><\/p>\n Denture care is so important to ensure that you avoid having to replace your dentures all the time. In the beginning, it will feel strange having them, but most people get used to them very quickly. <\/span><\/p>\nHow Dentures Work<\/span><\/h3>\n
