Losing several teeth, or losing an entire row of teeth, can feel like the end of your smile as you once knew it. For people who experience this kind of problem, it can also put a significant limit on diet options, cause problems with jawbone deterioration, and generally impact your confidence. Fortunately, there are solutions that are available to help you take on this matter and regain both your confidence in your appearance and your health. Our Pekin, IL dental office provides partial and full dentures for patients. Both of these prosthodontic solutions are made to provide welcome cosmetic changes, and they can offer comfort and support throughout the day to improve your speaking, chewing, and general jaw position to reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life.
The Right Restoration Can Help You Deal With The Impact Of Tooth Loss
Both partial and full dentures help patients regain confidence in their smiles when they have suffered advanced tooth loss. A partial denture can close the different spaces left by tooth loss; unlike a bridge, which can only take care of multiple teeth when they are adjacent, a partial denture can cover non-adjacent losses. With a full denture, we can completely restore a row that is absent of teeth. With both appliances, we take care to create something that will offer a secure and comfortable fit. We also work with materials that lead to the production of restorations with lifelike results!
We Provide Partial Dentures As Well As Full Dentures
Having the option to receive a partial denture can help patients who worry that their different gaps will mean receiving one prosthodontic restoration after another. What we do instead is create an appliance that can fill the different gaps in your upper or lower teeth to restore your appearance. This makes treatment possible without the need to modify remaining healthy teeth. Discreet clasps are set to hold your partial denture in position and secure the appliance.
A full denture completely replaces a row of teeth when all of them are missing. By taking care to measure your jaw and oral structures, we can make sure that your restoration is secure and comfortable. The appliance will stay secure thanks to natural suction or the use of epoxies as needed. In some cases, dental implants are used to provide permanent stability for a restoration and help stimulate and preserve the jawbone.
