Replacing Missing Teeth With Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are made from a metal and plastic framework that has one or more false teeth attached to it. This framework snaps onto your healthy teeth, holding the false teeth in the gaps where your missing teeth used to be. Since they attach to your natural teeth, partial dentures are usually quite stable. 

They can be used to restore teeth in both the upper and lower arches of your mouth. And at Dental Studio of Pine Lake, we specialize in custom-crafted partial dentures that are long-lasting, fit perfectly into your smile, and help you overcome the negative effects of tooth loss.

The benefits of partial dentures

Love your smile again – You’ll be able to smile without gaps, eat your favorite foods more easily, and speak clearly again. And with the custom designs and advanced materials we use at Dental Studio of Pine Lake, no one will be able to tell that you have a false tooth unless you want them to know!

Cost-effective treatment – Partial dentures are usually the most affordable way to replace multiple missing teeth, especially if you are missing multiple teeth that are not located next to each other.

Prevents teeth from shifting – Once you lose a tooth, the nearby teeth will tend to shift toward the gap in your smile, which can ruin the alignment of your bite and your teeth. Partial dentures rest in this gap, preventing teeth from shifting toward

Great temporary option – While you can wear some types of partial dentures forever, they're also a great option if you’re still considering other tooth replacements like dental bridges or dental implants. Until you’ve made your decision, your partial dentures will keep your smile looking great.

Complete Smile Restoration With Full Dentures

If you are missing most or all of your teeth, or you have lots of unhealthy teeth that need to be extracted, full-mouth dentures may be the best option for restoring your smile. These dentures can only be placed if you have had all of your natural teeth removed.

Rather than snapping onto healthy teeth to stay in place, full-mouth dentures are designed with an acrylic base that fits tightly over your gums. Friction holds them in place, and denture adhesive can be used to achieve an even more stable, tight fit.

Attached to the base is a full row of artificial teeth. Dentures can be used to replace the upper arch, lower arch, or both arches of teeth, depending on which teeth you've lost. With a set of dentures, you can overcome tooth loss and get back to smiling proudly and eating all of your favorite foods.

The benefits of full-mouth dentures

Eat, speak, and smile normally – It takes a little bit of time to adjust to a new set of dentures. But once you do, you’ll have a brand-new set of teeth! You will be able to eat your favorite foods, smile for photos, and speak without difficulties.

Get fast results – It’s usually possible to create a full set of dentures within 2-4 weeks, depending on the need for adjustments and multiple try-ins. You can go from having no teeth to having a full set of natural-looking teeth within just one month!

You’re in control – Throughout the denture design process, Dr. Harmon and Dr. Zhang will work closely with you to listen to your feedback, make sure your dentures fit, and make sure they look just the way you want them to. You’re always in control, and you’ll always get great results at Dental Studio of Pine Lake.
