Here are some reasons that some people could come to need dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy can cause a lot of shock to the body, but it\u2019s consequences on teeth aren\u2019t talked about often enough. As the body moves nutrients to the growing baby, they relocated away from the mouth. This can sometimes cause people\u2019s teeth to fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It typically isn\u2019t a good idea for pregnant women to get dental implant surgery, so dentures can be a great way for them to replace any teeth that they\u2019ve lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Periodontal Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s estimated that around 50% of adults in the U.S. have some form of gum disease. While it can be fairly mild, in advanced cases gum disease can lead to bone and tooth loss. In other cases, infections can seep into the tooth, meaning that they\u2019ll need to be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can happen to people at any age, and if they lose teeth, a set of partial dentures can help them quickly and efficiently replace them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teenagers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teenagers lose teeth to sports and other accidents all the time, which can negatively affect their self-esteem. Naturally, they\u2019ll want to fill the gap in their smile as fast as possible. However, dental implants are typically not recommended for teenagers\u2014their jaws are still growing, which could cause the dental implant to shift or fall out as time goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason, partial dentures can make an excellent tooth replacement option for teenagers, especially if they\u2019re interested in getting dentures when they reach adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there are a lot of ways to lose teeth, which means that all kinds of people can benefit from the confidence and security that dentures can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Avion Dental &amp; Orthodontics,&nbsp; we\u2019re proud to be a dental office that people are happy to spend time in, filled with professionals that have their best interest at heart.
