Complete or partial dentures can replace your missing teeth and give you the confidence to smile. Dentures can be used to replace teeth that have been lost due to trauma, decay, or gum disease. It is important to replace missing teeth, not only because teeth help with eating food, but because they help support the facial muscles and are critical for speech.
Full Dentures
These are dentures which are used to replace the completely missing teeth in both the upper and lower jaw.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces multiple missing teeth. It can be attached to the teeth with clasps, which are like small metal “c” clamps that hug nearby teeth or may be attached to teeth with crowns with precision attachments (hidden clasps). They have a metal part and plastic(acrylic) teeth and gum areas.
Implant Option
Instead of having a removable partial, implants are an option in some cases. There needs to be sufficient bone for an implant. If there is not enough bone present, we may be able to add more bone through grafting.
