Temporary dentures solve”unsightly gaps”
Temporary dentures can provide a short-term solution to missing teeth, it has been claimed.
A study in the Academy of General Dentistry’s (AGD’s) clinical journal revealed that 86 per cent of dentists report that their patients’ biggest fear of losing a tooth is the associated social embarrassment.
However, with interim removable dentures, people can still smile with pride while waiting for a more permanent fixture, explained the AGD.
AGD spokesperson Laura Murcko said: "Unsightly gaps in the mouth do not have to be part of a person’s permanent appearance."
"A great smile serves as an individual’s most powerful tool," she added.
The study also revealed that temporary dentures can act as a space maintainer for people who have lost teeth as a result of trauma and also allow them to eat regular food.
Some dentists recommend dental implants as a replacement procedure for dentures, which involves building a ceramic tooth-coloured restoration around an anchor in the patients jaw.
I am a 71 year old diabetic who had extensive gum disease and had all but 9 of my permanent teeth removed this year. However, I was unable to continue with the dental work I was having done because, even though I have dental insurance, I do not have sufficient funds to pay the difference between what the dentist charges and my insurance (Delta). I live on my Social Security and really would like to have at least temporary dentures until I can save enough to get the remaining teeth extracted and permanent dentures made. I need an affordable option to at least resolve my temporary problem. Thank you for your attention to my request.
