If you desire a smile makeover to replace missing teeth, dentures are a cost-efficient and comfortable option to do so. Dentures are false teeth made to replace teeth that have been lost due to dental decay, or trauma. There are two different types of dentures that Dr. Richard Steinfeld, DMD, offers at his dental practice – full dentures and partial dentures – to decide which is best for you, schedule a consultation.
Complete (full) dentures are used if you’re missing teeth in your upper (maxillary) or lower (mandibular) jaws. Partial dentures are used on patients who only have some teeth missing on either jaw. Complete dentures replace all of the teeth, while partial dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting position. Your dentures may feel awkward for a few weeks until you become accustomed to them, however, you will decrease your risk of periodontal disease as well as ease the stress of your jaw while wearing them.
