Dentures
Missing teeth can make your cheeks look hollow and your mouth look sunken. More importantly, your diet can suffer. If multiple teeth are missing in a row, you may want to consider dentures for both cosmetic purposes and overall wellness. Depending on the number of teeth missing, we may suggest partial or full dentures. During your consultation, we’ll assess all your options and you can choose what you feel most comfortable with - including dentures, bridges and dental implants.
Partial
Partial dentures are ideal for those who are missing only a few teeth in a row. They latch onto the remaining dental arch (gums where the missing teeth are) and any intact adjacent teeth. Even if you only have one tooth on your dental arch, a partial denture may still work, since the remaining tooth could serve as a natural anchor.
Complete
When your dental arch no longer has any teeth, a complete denture is the optimal solution. You can choose the traditional kind that latches to the dental arch or choose to have dentures that are anchored by dental implants. The latter option has the best hold, but involves surgery. Our dentists can have an in-depth discussion with you so you can make an informed decision.
