To restore your self-esteem and quality of life, Compassionate Dental Care has the solutions you need with partials and dentures. We will fill the empty spaces to give you a beautiful, functional smile.
Treat Your Tooth Loss
Every tooth in your mouth has an important job to promote proper oral functions that are necessary for chewing and speaking. When even one is lost, it will start to cause complications with your oral health. The missing tooth causes your remaining natural teeth to lose support. Over time, this may cause them to shift toward the open space. This can increase your risk for tooth decay and gum disease as they become more difficult to clean. Not to mention, additional tooth loss can occur in the future.
To protect your oral health, your restorative dentist at Compassionate Dental Care will fill the empty space. Depending on your severity of tooth loss, you may need a partial or denture. We will help to determine which solution will best meet your needs.
Partials
When you have several missing teeth, you will likely require a partial. This involves prosthetic teeth that are attached to a gum-colored base to fill the empty spaces. A metal framework is used to allow it to attach to your remaining natural teeth to hold it in place.
Using impressions of your mouth, it will be made to match your exact specification to ensure a comfortable fit and the highest level of function. The prosthetic teeth are customized to match the size, shape, and color of your remaining natural teeth to blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Dentures
Dentures have been the most widely used option to replace an entire arch of missing teeth because they are affordable and convenient. Impressions of your mouth are taken to create a gum-colored base, which will feature prosthetic teeth. It is then held in place using an adhesive or suction.
Although they had a bad reputation in the past for looking fake, new advancements in dentistry now allow them to look more natural than ever before. In addition, many of the disadvantages of past dentures are resolved to offer a more comfortable fit to reduce slipping and irritation.
