What Are Dentures

Dentures are restorations that are fabricated by Dr.Gaurav Ghosh to replace missing teeth within the smile. They can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth, depending on the patient’s specific and unique needs. During an evaluation of the smile, our team of professionals at Quintessence Family Dentistry can help patients decide which treatment options are best for their lifestyle and budget. Often, dentures are the most appropriate option.

What Type Of Dentures Are Available?

There are many ways in which dentures can be used within the smile.

• Partial dentures – partial dentures are dentures used to replace one or more teeth within the dental arch. These are made of metal and acrylic framework and use the existing teeth to anchor them in place. Think of partial dentures as a retainer used after orthodontic treatment with false teeth attached so they slip into place and restore the arch’s function and appearance.
• Full dentures – full dentures are used to replace an entire arch of teeth. In preparation for full dentures, patients may have existing teeth extracted. Full dentures are made of acrylic and include false teeth and gum tissues.
• Implant-supported dentures – patients who want a more stable option when it comes to full dentures may consider implant-supported dentures, which utilize dental implants along the arch to snap into place with the full dentures for optimum strength and functionality.
