Tooth loss is a widespread oral health problem; 35 million people across the United States are missing all their teeth, and the prevalence of edentulism is shown to increase with age. Periodontal disease, tooth decay and traumatic injuries are some of the most common causes of tooth loss in adults. If you are one of the many individuals who are missing some or all of your natural teeth, eating, speaking and smiling may present challenges that are affecting your quality of life. Replacing missing teeth promptly, with customized dentures makes it possible to once again enjoy a varied, nutritious diet and to feel confident in social and professional settings. A denture is an artificial set of teeth, in a supportive acrylic base, which fits precisely over your gums Our dentist takes an accurate set of impressions to design your dentures for cosmetically pleasing, functional results. Dentures can replace a full arch of missing teeth, or just a few missing teeth, with a partial denture. Our team of professionals takes the time to address any questions you may have, to help you adjust to wearing and caring for your new dentures. In some cases, dental implants may be recommended to provide added stability to a customized overdenture.
At Barrington Dental Wellness Center, we personalize your course of care, making it easier and more convenient to receive quality dentures. Our dentist is committed to providing the most advanced solutions for all your dental healthcare. To learn more about dentures or to schedule an appointment, call today.

Final Thoughts
Root canal therapy helps maintain oral health by treating infection and saving the natural tooth whenever possible. Treating infection early can relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and restore normal function without removing the tooth.
