Restore Missing Teeth With Full and Partial Dentures
Tooth loss can impact more than just your appearance—it can also affect how you eat, speak, and feel in everyday situations. Many people experience reduced confidence and difficulty with daily functions when teeth are missing. Restoring your smile with the right solution is essential for both oral health and overall well-being.
At Patterson Dental, we help patients explore reliable tooth replacement options, including full and partial dentures, to rebuild function and create a natural-looking smile.
What Types of Dentures Are Available for Replacing Missing Teeth?
There are several denture options available depending on how many teeth need to be replaced and the level of support required. Common types include:
- Partial Dentures: These removable appliances are designed for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. A metal framework supports the denture and attaches securely around existing teeth, filling in the gaps to restore both function and appearance.
- Full Dentures: Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing. These appliances are typically made from acrylic and include a full set of artificial teeth along with a gum-colored base. Upper dentures are often held in place by natural suction, while lower dentures may require additional support for stability.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are secured using dental implants placed along the jaw. They offer improved stability compared to traditional dentures and help maintain bone structure. This option is often chosen by patients looking for a more secure and long-lasting solution.
