Why do dentists prescribe dentures?
Many of our patients come to us because they have been told that dentures are their last remaining option.
This can be for a range of reasons, the most common of which include:
- Bone loss in the jaw as a result of historic tooth loss
- Nearly a whole arch of missing or failing teeth on the upper or lower jaw (or both jaws)
- A sinus lift is needed to make space for implants
- Gum (periodontal) disease
However, if you come to a full jaw dental implant expert, like EvoDental, we can offer patients with many missing teeth or complex needs a bespoke full arch rehabilitation that works for them. This includes patients who:
- Have many failing or missing teeth
- Suffer from severe gum disease (periodontitis)
- Need sinus lifts and bone grafts
- Have pre-existing dental work, including crowns and bridges
- Lack the amount of bone needed to implant
- Are living with dental trauma
