Using dentures and partials to replace one or more missing teeth in the smile
Tooth loss could affect not only your oral health but also the functionality and aesthetics of your overall smile. That is why it is essential that patients with missing teeth consult with a skilled and qualified restorative dentist who can assess their situation and propose solutions to their tooth loss problems. Dr. Blanca Fernandez and her team at Highland Dental Clinic in South Lakeland, Florida, are here to help restore your natural smile using solutions such as dentures and partials. She also offers several other dental restoration options, all of which are available at her state-of-the-art dental clinic and which can be tailored to your unique needs.
What are some of the types of dentures that are provided at Highland Dental Clinic?
Our team is proud to provide a variety of dentures and partials for smile restoration, including:
- Partial dentures. These removable dental devices are designed to fill in the gap that is created by one or several missing teeth within the upper or lower dental arch. They usually consist of a metal framework that leverages the surrounding teeth for support. This enables a smooth insertion of false teeth exactly where they are needed to achieve the appearance and function of a complete smile.
- Standard full dentures. Crafted from superior quality acrylic, full dentures, sometimes known as “complete dentures,” are a combination of false teeth and gum tissues. They are secured in place either by natural suction or with readily available, easy-to-use denture adhesives that can be obtained at Highland Dental Clinic or at your local drugstore as over-the-counter denture care items. This type of denture is a tried-and-true option for replacing all the teeth in the arch while maintaining a natural appearance overall.
- Implant-supported dentures. Also known as fixed dentures or implant-retained dentures, implant-supported denture appliances are an excellent choice for those needing to replace all their teeth but who desire a more stable solution than more traditional full dentures. These dentures use anywhere from four to six implants along the arch to snap the dentures into place, ensuring superior fit, functionality, and comfort. Some dental offices call these “all-on-4” or “all-on-6” dentures, depending on the number of implants used to stabilize them and keep them in place.
