Partial Dentures at The Bellport Village Dentist

Dentures are often associated with the elderly, but that isn’t always the case. If you have lost all or most of your teeth, dentures are available to replace your missing teeth and restore your smile. Whether you have lost teeth due to periodontal disease, decay, or injury; dentures might be a great option for improving your health and appearance. Let’s take a closer look at partial dentures and how to restore your smile.

When to Consider Partial Dentures?

Today the most widely utilized dentures are partial and complete dentures. A partial denture can be removable and fills in the spaces left by missing teeth. By utilizing partial dentures, we can prevent your other teeth from shifting or moving position, causing a crooked smile. Partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by a framework and attach to your natural teeth with clasps.

Benefits of Partial Dentures

Restores Chewing Efficiency

Missing teeth can make it difficult to bite and chew food properly, leading to digestive issues and limited food choices. Partial dentures help restore your chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods comfortably. With better nutrition comes improved overall health and well-being.

Improves Speech and Pronunciation

Teeth play a crucial role in forming sounds and speaking clearly. Gaps caused by missing teeth can affect your pronunciation and confidence while speaking. Partial dentures fill in those gaps, helping you articulate words better and communicate without embarrassment.

Enhances Aesthetic Appearance

Gaps in your smile can impact your self-esteem and how others perceive you. Partial dentures are designed to closely resemble natural teeth in shape and color, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth. They help restore a balanced, attractive smile that boosts your confidence in social and professional settings.

Prevents Shifting of Natural Teeth

When teeth are missing, adjacent teeth may begin to shift into the empty spaces, leading to misalignment, bite issues, and even jaw pain. Partial dentures act as space maintainers, keeping your natural teeth in their correct positions and preserving your bite alignment.

Supports Facial Structure and Prevents Sagging

Teeth provide support to your facial muscles. When several are missing, your cheeks may appear sunken, and your facial profile can change, giving an older appearance. Partial dentures help support your facial muscles, maintaining the natural contours of your face and preventing premature aging.

Cost-Effective Tooth Replacement Option

Compared to dental implants or fixed bridges, partial dentures are a more affordable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. They offer a great balance of functionality, appearance, and cost, making them ideal for many patients.

Our Partial Dentures Process

Your dentist will assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your goals to determine if partial dentures are right for you.

Accurate molds of your mouth are taken to create a denture that fits comfortably and blends naturally with your existing teeth.

Using the impressions, your custom partial denture is crafted in a dental lab with durable materials that match the color and shape of your natural teeth.

Once ready, your denture is fitted, and any necessary adjustments are made to ensure a snug and comfortable fit.

Regular check-ups ensure your dentures continue to fit well and function properly.
