Partials, Dentures and Implants
Partials and Dentures are removable restorations used to replace missing teeth.Partials are recommended when there are multiple teeth missing on the upper or lower arch. Dentures are recommended when all of the teeth on the upper or lower arch are missing. The procedures require multiple appointments for impressions and "fittings" to be taken to send to the lab for the partial or denture to be made.
Implants
Implant
A dental implant is an excellent treatment option to replace missing teeth. Usually your dentist can recommend several restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, but none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants are the best long term choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.
There are several ways that teeth can lost and the most common are:
- Tooth decay
- Root canal failure
- Periodontal disease- Gum Disease
- Trauma to the mouth or tooth
- Excessive wear and tear (grinding)
- Congenital defects
People who have lost teeth might feel too self-conscious to smile or talk. Regardless of the nature of problems related to tooth loss, dental implants may provide a simple remedy with proven results. Please ask us if you are a potential candidate for dental implants. |
