Full & Partial Dentures
Who’s a Good Candidate for Dentures?
If you’re missing all of your teeth on one or both arches, you would be an excellent choice for a full denture. Whether your teeth were lost due to malnutrition, periodontal disease, or some other unfortunate circumstance, full dentures are here to help restore your smile to what it used to be.
On the other hand, if you’re only missing most or a few of your teeth, you would be a good candidate for partial dentures in Hackensack, NJ. They can help give you the appearance and function of a full smile. Ahead of your consultation, our team will evaluate your smile and review your medical background to assess your suitability for the treatment. In the meantime, here are some factors to consider as you prepare for your appointment.
What Are the Different Types of Dentures?
Tooth loss comes in various forms with patients missing one tooth or an entire arch. Fortunately, there are multiple options that will help you achieve the complete, functional, and beautiful smile you deserve.
How Dentures are Made
When the teeth that show when you smile become damaged or decayed, they require extra special care because your oral health and appearance are on the line. To take care of both of them, we’ll only use all-porcelain restorations. Dental porcelain can be shaped and shaded to emulate real enamel in almost every way, and in the end, even YOU will have trouble seeing where your natural tooth ends and the restoration begins!
The Benefits of Dentures
Direct tooth bonding offers a quick, easy, and affordable solution for minor cosmetic flaws that can create big problems for a smile. Your dentist will apply a naturally-colored composite resin to your tooth to build up any damaged/missing enamel, and then they’ll literally sculpt it to perfection. It’s just that simple, and often, the entire procedure takes less than an hour. And, with the proper care, you can look forward to the results lasting for 10 years or more.
