Dentures and Partial Dentures for Missing Teeth
Anyone missing teeth knows the inconvenience and embarrassment that results. While the dentists at Putnam Bright Smiles Dentistry in Brewster have multiple ways to replace missing teeth, many of our patients prefer partial dentures or complete dentures to complete their smiles.
If you are missing any teeth, then you know about the disadvantages. When a person is missing a visible tooth, they might try to keep their mouth shut or cover a smile with their hand. If a tooth nearer the back of their mouth is missing, it can be hard to chew food completely. Teeth on either side of the gap are also less stable because the missing tooth no longer supports them.
It’s important, then, for your comfort, enjoyment of life and nutrition, to ensure that you have a set of teeth in good condition. Partial or complete dentures can resolve any problems resulting from tooth loss.
Improvements to Denture Technology Benefit Our Patients
We now have better techniques to take impressions of your mouth; these impressions are used to make your dentures. That means when your dentures are ready to try on, they are more likely to be a good fit. Nearly all dentures require a few adjustments to make them perfect, but better impressions shorten this adjustment period.
There are differences in the way dentures are designed, too. New techniques make them fit the upper or lower arches more securely and comfortably. A decade or two ago, it was necessary to re-coat dentures with adhesives more than once a day. Because of the better fit of today’s dentures, many patients find they can skip adhesive entirely.
Materials for dentures keep getting better and stronger, too. This not only helps with a perfect fit, it means new dentures are likely to last longer than previous types of dentures.
Partial and Complete Dentures to Meet Our Patients’ Needs
If you are only missing a few teeth, you might need just a partial denture with clasps to attach it to nearby teeth. We are happy to help you complete your smile with a snug-fitting, partial denture. We will match replacement teeth to your natural teeth in both color and shape.
If you are missing all the teeth on the upper or lower arch, that’s when we design and deliver a complete denture. Our desire to provide superior-quality service means that we will work hard to ensure your denture is a comfortable fit. The better the fit, the less your denture will move when you are chewing or talking. That’s important to us.
