Dentures and Partials

Dentures are artificial devices constructed to replace missing teeth. While many traditional dentures are removeable, some different types require bonding or clasping onto other teeth. Each denture is custom made so it fits comfortably along the gum tissue in your mouth.

For patients who lack all of their teeth on either arch, complete dentures may be the solution. These dentures are also referred to as full dentures.

Partial dentures - either fixed or removeable - are often recommended for patients who are missing some of their teeth. Removeable partial dentures are ideal for patients who are missing some of their teeth on one arch. Fixed partial dentures, also known as crowns or bridges, adjoin to an individual's surrounding teeth or implants.

If you are missing teeth and thinking about dentures, keep in mind the advantages of having them. Dentures can:

• Improve chewing ability;
• Enhance facial aesthetics by supporting lips and cheeks;
• Advance speaking ability; and
• Produce healthy self-esteem.
