Restoring Your Life: A Senior’s Guide to Dentures and Bridges

Tooth Loss is Not Inevitable

While common in seniors, tooth loss is usually the result of long-term gum disease (periodontitis). If you have already lost teeth, Muskurahat is here to help you eat and speak comfortably again.

Dentures vs. Dental Bridges

  • Full Dentures: Best when all teeth are missing. Modern dentures are custom-molded to look like natural teeth and gums.
  • Partial Dentures: Used when you still have some healthy teeth to act as “anchors.”
  • Fixed Bridges: A non-removable solution that “bridges” the gap between two healthy teeth.

Caring for Your Dentures

  1. Soak Overnight: Dentures must stay moist to keep their shape.
  2. Brush Your Gums: Even without teeth, bacteria live on your gums and tongue.
  3. Annual Checks: Your jawbone changes shape over time; we provide “relining” to keep your fit snug.
