I have gingivitis. What denture methods are available to me?
Q. I have had gingivitis for the last 5 or 6 years. I was told by my dentist that I may have aggressive periodontitis so I underwent treatment. However, since then I have already lost a few teeth and a few others are loose. It looks like my bone tissue is too thin for implants. I have gingivitis so what denture methods are available to me? (woman in her 40s)
A. You have already lost a few teeth and your remaining teeth are weak. It is typical that people with gingivitis who get partial dentures covered by health insurance tend to lose more teeth in the immediate future.
It is very important to keep the inside of your mouth clean and to administer daily care. And it is also very important to choose your dentures wisely. That is, some dentures may accelerate tooth loss.
This is because teeth affected by gingivitis are extremely weak against the metal clasps of partial dentures. The clasps focus stress on your remaining teeth and can eventually cause them to fall out.
Our telescope system dentures can fix your teeth in place and prevent wiggling making them ideal for patients who suffer from gingivitis.
The telescope system is a denture system developed in Germany. When in most cases dentures can lead to tooth loss, our dentures actually prevent the loss of remaining teeth. This is the concept behind the telescope system. Using this system we can make dentures that prevent tooth loss and extend the lifespan of remaining teeth.
However, teeth cannot be protected perfectly in all instances. Sometimes tooth loss is simply unavoidable. Usually when this happens it is necessary to have dentures remade from scratch. But with the telescope system, we can predict which teeth are in danger of falling out and design dentures in a way that makes adjustment easy. This special characteristic of our dentures makes it unnecessary to remake dentures from scratch every time the shape of the mouth changes so that you can use your dentures for a very long time.
There are a few different types of telescope systems. The type best suited for you is determined by the condition of your remaining teeth. The telescope system should put our younger patients at ease due to the fact that there are no metal clasps or springs and they are esthetically superior.
