Can a Denture Be Used to Replace a Single Tooth?

Single Tooth Denture Cost in Hamilton ON Area

Replacing a single tooth with a restorative partial denture is one of the most common ways to deal with tooth loss. It is also a cost-effective solution compared to other alternatives such as dental bridges or dental implants. At Dentistry on Parkdale, Dr. Karen Ho and her team of professionals in Hamilton, Ontario, often encourage patients to consider using partial dentures to replace a single tooth or several teeth in the smile. Artificial teeth are an economical and reliable option for improving the function and appearance of the smile following tooth loss or extraction.

What is a Partial Denture?

Dr. Karen Ho describes the partial denture as a removable appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. The denture is made up of an acrylic base that is gum-colored and fits over the existing gums. The base of the partial denture contains replacement teeth, which are usually made of porcelain or plastic. In some cases, metal clasps are used to hold the partial denture in place.

What are the Benefits of Using Partial Dentures?

There are many advantages associated with using partial dentures to replace missing teeth:

  • Partial dentures can restore the function of the teeth and help patients eat and speak properly.
  • Partial dentures can improve the smile’s appearance by filling in gaps caused by missing teeth.
  • Partial dentures can help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
  • Partial dentures are a cost-effective artificial tooth solution for patients on a budget.

What is the Process of Obtaining Partial Dentures?

Getting partial dentures usually takes a few weeks from start to finish. During the initial consultation, Dr. Karen Ho will examine the mouth, take X-rays, and determine if partial dentures are the best treatment option. If so, impressions of the teeth and gums will be made to create a custom-made appliance. The patient will then return for a fitting appointment, during which they will receive their new partial denture.

How Do I Take Care of Partial Dentures?

If you have a partial denture, it you must take care of it properly, so it lasts as long as possible. Here are just a few recommendations for taking care of your new restoration:

  • Handle your partial denture with care. Avoid dropping it or knocking it against hard surfaces.
  • Keep your partial denture clean by brushing it daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap or denture cleaner. Rinse it well after cleaning.
  • Store your partial denture in a safe place when you’re not wearing it, such as in a denture box or wrapped in a clean cloth. This will help prevent it from getting damaged or lost.
  • Bring your partial denture to your dental appointments so your dentist can check it for fit and wear.
  • Have your partial denture replaced every five to seven years, or sooner if it becomes loose or damaged.
