Full and Partial Dentures

Dentists today offer several ways to replace extracted or knocked-out teeth. Implants are typically the first choice, as they offer stability and comfort. Dental bridges are easier to place, be do require the support of the stable adjacent teeth. If a patient does not have the bone density or suitable adjacent teeth, our Orange County cosmetic dentist will likely recommend full or partial dentures.

Both full and partial dentures are removable appliances that substitute for both teeth and gums. Full dentures are designed to replace all of the teeth in an arch. In these cases, a patient may already be missing all of their teeth on either the top or bottom of their mouth, or need a few extracted for the full denture to be placed. Partial dentures are meant to replace a few teeth in a row, and are used in conjunction with the other teeth in the arch. This is the perfect option when a patient has multiple perfectly healthy teeth remaining. You may have the option between a removable denture, and one that stays in place by attaching to adjacent healthy teeth.

Our dentist will work with you to determine the shade, shape, and fit of your new dentures, so you can enjoy your new smile. For a consultation appointment and a recommendation of what will work best for you, give us a call today.
