Partial & Full Dentures
In the event a patient is missing some or all of their natural teeth, a partial or full denture (false teeth) may be beneficial. Even though partial or full dentures are not the ideal treatment to replace missing teeth (we strongly prefer dental implant supported restorations), they can provide many people with a very satisfying restoration that will be durable and function very well for many years.
Complete (full) dentures are used when all the teeth have been lost in either your upper or lower arch. They allow you to smile, speak and masticate (a big word that simply means "chew") your food so you maintain proper nutrition. While dentures are not the ideal restoration these days, they are necessary and will allow you to function far better than if you didn't replace your missing teeth and had to "mash" up all of your food.
If you are currently wearing a denture that you are not happy with or you think that you may need dentures, please visit our Englewood, NJ dental office for an evaluation. Many times we can have a set of beautiful dentures made for you in just a few simple appointments.
Additionally, you may be a good candidate for dental implants. If this is the case your chewing ability can be drastically enhanced. Because of some very recent advances in denture technology, implants can be used to easily secure your dentures so that you never have to worry about them coming out.
