Know Your Dental Treatment Options

 

There are a number of ways to replace missing teeth including dental bridges, partial dentures and dental implants.  It is important to take a look at each option and understand the benefits of each treatment as well as the limitations of each treatment.  When you have a clear understanding of how each option works, you can make an informed decision about which tooth replacement option is best for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partial Dentures

 

Dental Implants are not the best solution for every patient.  In cases where dental implants are not ideal, whether due to oral health conditions or budget concerns, a partial denture provides aesthetic tooth replacement and adequate restoration of dental function. 

 

What Is A Partial Denture?

 

A partial denture is a prosthetic appliance that is worn in the mouth to replace missing teeth.  The prosthesis is held in place by metal fasteners which attach around the adjacent natural teeth.  A partial denture is removable and must be taken out for cleaning and hygiene purposes.  While a partial denture does not restore complete dental function, it has proven to be safe, effective and less costly than some other tooth replacement options. 

 

A partial denture is a custom made prosthesis that is made to conform to the shape of your jaw.  A dental impression is taken and used to create a custom fit to ensure comfort.  The prosthesis is made to match the appearance of the remaining natural teeth for an attractive appearance. If you wear a partial denture, it is important to see Dr. Babaloui at least every six months for a dental check-up to make sure the partial is fitting properly and in good repair.

 

Dental Bridges

 

A dental bridge can be used to replace a missing tooth or teeth.  A bridge is made to look and function like a natural tooth, providing a stable, durable tooth replacement option.  For more information on dental bridges, follow this link.
