The Effects of Missing Teeth
Losing teeth can occur for a variety of reasons — from decay and gum disease to injury or aging. But untreated tooth loss can lead to more serious problems:
Difficulty chewing and speaking clearly
Reduced self-esteem and confidence
Bone loss in the jaw
Changes in facial structure
Movement or loosening of surrounding teeth
Risk of Dental Distress Syndrome (DDS) — a condition caused by imbalanced jaw function due to missing teeth, which can result in headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and even hearing issues
Replacing missing teeth with dentures is an effective way to avoid these complications and maintain a healthier mouth and jaw.
Common Causes of Tooth Loss
Tooth loss may occur due to:
Physical injury or trauma
Advanced gum disease (periodontitis)
Severe tooth decay
Poor dental hygiene
Infection or abscesses
Preventing Tooth Loss
To protect your teeth and avoid the need for dentures, it’s important to:
Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleans
Brush and floss daily
Wear a mouthguard during contact sports
Avoid sugary foods and drinks that contribute to decay
Seek prompt treatment for infections or dental pain
What to Do Right After Losing a Tooth
While home remedies cannot replace lost teeth, these steps can help in the short term before seeing your dentist:
Rinse gently with warm salt water to prevent infection
Apply a cold or warm compress to reduce swelling or discomfort
Avoid chewing on the affected area
How Dentures Work
At Hume Dental Group, our denture process is straightforward and stress-free:
Consultation – We assess your oral health and discuss the best denture options for your needs.
Impressions – We take precise moulds of your mouth to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
Fitting – Once your dentures are ready, we fit them and make any necessary adjustments.
Follow-up Care – We check that everything fits well and functions properly in the weeks following.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Partial Dentures
Designed for patients who still have some natural teeth, partial dentures fill gaps in the upper or lower jaw. They consist of replacement teeth set in a gum-coloured acrylic or flexible base, and are easily removable. For patients with implants, implant-retained partial dentures are also available.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. Once any remaining teeth are removed and the gums have healed, we fit a complete, custom-designed denture that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with ease. For these cases we work in conjunction with a Dental Prosthetist to get the desired outcome.
Implant-Supported Dentures
These dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, offering improved stability and retention. They are ideal for patients seeking a more permanent, secure solution.
Fixed (Permanent) Dentures
Permanently attached to implants, these dentures do not need to be removed and offer maximum comfort and functionality for everyday life.
Benefits of Full & Partial Dentures
Enhanced appearance – Restore facial structure and a confident smile
Better speech – Replacing missing teeth improves pronunciation
Improved chewing – Eat a wide variety of foods comfortably
Support for remaining teeth – Prevent shifting and maintain proper bite alignment
Custom fit – Designed for your unique mouth shape and needs
Denture Alternatives
If you’re considering other options, we also offer:
Dental Implants – A permanent solution for replacing one or more teeth with natural function and appearance
Dental Bridges – Non-removable, fixed replacements that anchor to neighbouring teeth
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper maintenance ensures your dentures last and perform well:
Clean daily using a soft brush and denture-safe cleanser
Soak overnight in a denture solution
Remove at night to allow your gums to rest
Attend regular dental check-ups for adjustments and oral exams
