Missing teeth within the smile can have a negative effect on one’s overall appearance. Adult patients missing one or more teeth due to disease, trauma, or aging are encouraged to speak to a dental professional about restoring their smile with one of many solutions. Patients can replace their teeth in one of three ways: dental bridges, dental implants, and dentures.
Dentures are a common solution for patients who are missing one or more teeth and want to find an economical yet effective approach enhancing their smiles. Dentures come in two types, including partial dentures and full dentures. When patients are missing one or more teeth within the dental arch, they may be a great candidate for partial dentures, while an entire arch of teeth that are missing or extracted are best suited for full dentures. Dr. Munira Lokhandwala of StarBrite Dental in Dublin, CA believes that dentures can be used in a variety of situations and is one of the most affordable ways to replace missing teeth. Additionally, many dental insurance plans cover some or most of the cost of dentures for patients.
Dentures are made of high-quality materials including metal and acrylics, and function in a way that allows patients to enjoy their favorite foods and smile once again! Full dentures integrate teeth and artificial gum tissue and they are placed over the ridge of the gum line. They are held in place with natural suction and dental adhesives or can be used in conjunction with dental implants for optimum stabilization. These implant-supported dentures are perfect for patients who are worried about maintaining their smiles. Options such as these can be discussed with the professionals of StarBrite Dental Dublin and learn more about how dentures can repair the function and beauty of the smile.
