November 12, 2013
When you’re missing some or even all of your natural teeth, it can be difficult to share with your smile with the world around you for fear of embarrassed. Even worse, unsightly gaps can cause additional oral health problems, such as an increased risk of gum disease, jawbone deterioration, and even additional tooth loss. Thankfully, there are several tooth replacement options available that can suit all sorts of unique needs, and your local dentists in Phoenix and Glendale will be happy to help find the one you enjoy most so that you can finally enjoy the full and functional smile you deserve. If ease and affordability are important to you, dentures or partials may be the best fit!
Full Dentures
As you can probably guess, a full denture consists of a complete top or bottom row of teeth that are attached to a base that resembles your gums. When worn, they stay in place with the help of natural suction and sometimes adhesive. They’re lifelike, comfortable, and removable, allowing for easy cleaning. Plus, they’ll get rid of that pesky sagging look that can sometimes occur whenever patients go without a large number of their teeth for a long time.
Partials
Partial dentures allow patients to hold onto the natural teeth they still have while replenishing those they’ve lost. The restoration is completely customized, fitting into one’s mouth like a puzzle-piece. They stay in place with the help of clips and brackets and, like dentures, are removable.
Contact your local dentists in Glendale and Phoenix today if you have any questions about dentures or partials, or if you’re ready to go ahead and schedule an appointment. Our team is happy to help patients achieve the happy and healthy teeth they want and deserve. We also serve the areas of West Phoenix, Peoria, and beyond.
Partial and Full Dentures: What You Need to Know
March 29, 2013
When you’re missing one or more of your natural teeth, it can be difficult to even get out of bed in the morning, not to mention share your smile with the world around you. You might be embarrassed or afraid of what other people will think if they notice. Even worse, missing teeth can cause a host of further dental health problems if their spaces are left empty for too long. Thankfully, many dentists offer a variety of restorative options designed to fit a patient’s unique needs and wishes. One of those methods, dentures, is a great choice for patients who are seeking an affordable, secure solution to tooth loss.
Dentures have been around for hundreds of years – even George Washington wore a pair! Of course, they’ve also earned a reputation over time for being a poor replacement for teeth. While the dentures of past years may have been one-size-fits all and distinctly uncomfortable, these modern-day appliances are now custom made for patients and guaranteed to feel safe and stable in your mouth. That’s why your local dentists in Phoenix and Glendale are happy to offer them alongside other restorative dentistry techniques.
A full denture consists of a row of teeth that are attached to a gum-colored base. They’re able to stay in place with the help of natural suction; a little dental adhesive can also be used in order to provide a little extra security for the wearer. Full dentures can help patients eat and speak much more easily; plus, they’ll help keep your facial muscles from sagging, which often happens due to prolonged teeth loss.
Partial dentures can be recommended to patients who want to replace missing teeth without sacrificing the natural ones they have left. It will be created to fit your mouth like a puzzle, the piece including only the teeth you need to replace. It stays in place with the help of clips and brackets. Both full dentures and partials are removable, which allows for easy cleaning!
