What are dentures?
Dentures are an affordable, removable option we offer at Family Smile Center LLC to replace multiple missing teeth. A denture is a removable oral appliance that can be used to replace all of your teeth or a just a few missing teeth. Our dentist can offer two main types of dentures in Frederick, Maryland: partial dentures and complete dentures.
What is a partial denture?
A partial denture, sometimes simply referred to as a “partial,” is used to replace multiple missing teeth when some natural teeth still remain. In many cases, the partial denture includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to the neighboring teeth for stability.
What is a complete denture?
A complete (full) denture is used to replace all of the teeth in an arch. This type of denture is shaped like a horseshoe and is composed of prosthetic teeth set into a gum-colored based. Based on your needs, we may recommend using a denture adhesive to provide additional security.
Do I need dentures?
Dr. Dinh may recommend dentures if you have lost multiple teeth and are interested in an affordable, noninvasive replacement option. Your dentures can help to restore your facial volume and shape, improve your ability to eat and speak as normal, and enhance the beauty of your smile.
