How Dentures Work and the Keys to Being Satisfied with Them

Perhaps it’s a choice you prefer not to make. But when you’re confronted with tooth loss it’s a common solution.

Dentures restore your ability to eat, chew, and speak following total or partial tooth loss. They also eliminate appearance issues associated with missing teeth.

Top reasons for choosing dentures

Restored confidence ranks high as a denture benefit. Cost effectiveness is another.

You also have a variety of options with dentures. Each will depend on your specific tooth loss circumstance.

Complete dentures replace all your teeth following total tooth loss once your gum tissue has healed. Partial dentures or partials are a solution when you have one or more natural teeth remaining.

Partial dentures can be removable or fixed. The removable option is also known as a dental bridge and is connected with a metal frame to hold them in place.

Fixed partial dentures can be used to replace one or more of your missing teeth. Dental crowns are used and the bridge is cemented in place.
