Dentures are one method of tooth replacement Lakewood, CO area patients consider. When one or more teeth are missing, dentures are often the treatment of choice for a variety of reasons. Dentures are:
Dr. Scott Stewart of South Lakewood Dental provides both full and partial dentures for patients in his practice.
Materials used are made from acrylic or “biological” materials (for those with allergic concerns). They snap into the dental arch, clasping onto the existing teeth for support, and allow a false tooth called a “pontic” to slide into place where the lost tooth once resided. Partial dentures are economical and easily snap in and out of the smile for easy care and cleaning. These are for one or more teeth missing within the dental arch.
Full dentures, or “complete dentures,” are for patients who have lost all the teeth within the dental arch. They can only be placed when no teeth are present. Full dentures are made of acrylic framework with false teeth and gum tissues. Typically, patients keep them in place with natural suction or dental adhesives, though patients with sufficient bone structure may consider implant-supported dentures. These dentures use several dental implants along the arch to snap into place and provide them with optimal support. Full dentures are the best method of replacement when patients need to replace all their teeth.
