Can partial dentures be used as a treatment for cosmetic and restorative tooth replacement?
Restoring missing teeth is critical to the appearance, health, and function of the smile. Without our teeth, we cannot eat properly, speak clearly, or smile with confidence. With accessible dental solutions for tooth replacement, such as partial dentures, patients in and around the area of Hamilton, Ontario, who are seeking solutions will be able to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted, even when tooth loss or extraction occurs. Dr. Karen Ho and her dedicated staff at Dentistry on Parkdale can help with partial dentures.
What are partial dentures?
Dr. Karen Ho and her team at Dentistry on Parkdale of Hamilton, Ontario, describe partial dentures as partial tooth replacement solutions that are removable, and adjustable. Partial dentures are an ideal option for individuals who have lost some but not all of their teeth. They are usually made from a combination of materials, such as metal and acrylic, with natural-looking artificial teeth attached to pink-coloured gum-like material.
Will my partial denture be comfortable?
Partial dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably in the patient’s mouth, mimicking the shape and colour of natural teeth. They can effectively replace one or more teeth in the dental arch. They can take some time for patients to get used to them, but they are a comfortable and well-fitted option for patients who might find dental implants costly or want a removable restoration, unlike dental bridges.
Can partial dentures replace one tooth?
Some of our patients use partial dentures to replace a single tooth, using it as an alternative to a dental implant. However, others may have several teeth in the arch that are missing, which can also be resolved with a partial denture.
How do I find out more about cosmetic denture treatment near me?
