I have some missing teeth. What might be the best option for me?
Regarding dentures, “partials” may be in your future if you have remaining healthy teeth to support the denture. If we need to remove remaining teeth, a complete upper or lower denture will restore a smile you can be proud of, along with the basic chewing and speech functions essential to a healthy, happy life.
How are partial dentures designed?
A “partial” is generally made from a blend of materials, such as metal alloys and acrylic. The color of these materials is matched to the surrounding gums and teeth. The prosthetic teeth are made to integrate perfectly with any remaining natural teeth, sitting atop a base or framework carefully crafted to seamlessly mimic the pink-red shade of natural gums. Several types of attachments can be utilized to secure the partial denture, including those that can connect to existing teeth. After consulting with you, we can recommend the most appropriate appliance or design that optimally aligns with your goals and is in the best long-term interests of your smile and health.
What is the process of getting dentures like?
First, we collect as much information as we can about your mouth. The use of precision technologies also helps us to design dentures that are customized to your unique “specifications.” Careful planning from the start and using high-quality materials result in teeth and gums that appear natural, removing any worries of them looking “plastic” or fake, unlike the “false teeth” of the past. Our patients smile confidently and love to show off their new, dazzling teeth! Before delivering your denture, we will provide instructions on how to adjust to and care for it.
At Bright Dental – Brianna Rafetto D.M.D., P.A., we foster genuine relationships with our patients from across the Middletown, DE area, knowing that oral health is a journey that demands an ongoing commitment and ongoing visits to our office for adjustments, repairs, and exams.
