Dentists can replace multiple missing teeth utilizing dental implants, fixed bridgework, partial dentures or a combination of these options. The individual treatment plan depends on the health of the remaining teeth and the surrounding bone, the functional needs, the projected appearance of the restored smile, as well as the financial considerations involved in each proposed method.
Replacing missings teeth is very important for a number of reasons, including avoiding any unhealthy shifting of the remaining natural teeth, facilitating eating, chewing and speech dynamics, as well as restoring the smile for cosmetic purposes.
With the highly sophisticated dental materials available today, selecting any one of the treatment options mentioned above will produce beautiful results. If you and your dentist decide that partial dentures are the treatment of choice to replace your multiple missing teeth, you can rest assured this is an excellent method to restore your smile.
Partial dentures fall under the category of removable prosthetic appliances. This means that although they are secured to your remaining teeth, you can take them out when indicated to clean. Partial dentures are similar to full dentures in as much as they have a small flesh-colored base that blends in with the surrounding soft tissues. Additionally, this base may include an extra supportive and biocompatible infrastructure for stability. Integrated into this framework are the natural looking and aesthetically pleasing replacement teeth.
Dr. Douglas Garczynski and the professional staff at Albee Dental Care take great pride in carefully guiding our patients through each step of fabricating their partial denture and the process of getting accustom to the new prosthesis. Our partial denture patients report how comfortable their new appliances have become and that they can indeed talk, laugh, eat and enjoy their restored smile. Of course, we encourage every partial denture wearer to clean their appliance just as well as they clean their natural teeth so that they last longer.
