This can lead to\nnutritional deficiencies that impact your general health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also change how you view yourself, leading to low\nself-esteem.

There are two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Partial:<\/strong>\nIf you have several missing teeth, a partial can fill the empty spaces. Your\ndentist in Waterbury takes an impression of your mouth to create prosthetic\nteeth attached to a gum-colored base. It features a metal framework, so it can\nclip or clasp onto your remaining teeth to hold it in place.<\/li><li><strong>Full\nDenture:<\/strong> An entire arch of missing teeth is replaced using a full denture.\nAn impression of your mouth is needed to create a custom-fit base to hold your\nprosthetic teeth. It is held in place using suction or an adhesive. As an\nalternative, you can anchor your denture to your jawbone using dental implants.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Dentures Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures provide several advantages to restore your quality\nof life with a beautiful, functional smile. You may be a candidate for dentures\nif:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You have suffered significant tooth loss.<\/li><li>You need a convenient solution.<\/li><li>You need a cost-effective treatment.<\/li><li>You do not want to undergo surgery.<\/li><li>You have healthy gums.<\/li><li>You are ready to enjoy your favorite foods\nagain.<\/li><li>You want to smile confidently. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Insurance Cover Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dental insurance policies cover a portion of the cost\nof dentures, but you will need to check with your individual carrier. There are\nseveral ways to pay for any remaining balance, such as using third-party\nfinancing with CareCredit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have lost your teeth, it is time to invest in your\nsmile.
