Dentures
Dentures are used to restore the function and aesthetics of the smile when a patient has missing teeth. Gaps between teeth can make eating and speaking difficult or uncomfortable. There is also a risk of the teeth surrounding the opening becoming crooked as they move into the space.
Traditionally, patients could avail of partial dentures to replace a few missing teeth or a full denture to replace an entire row of teeth. When considering dentures, comfort, functionality and appearance are the most critical factors for most wearers.
Ill-fitting dentures can rub against the gums or slip out of place. Visible gaps between the restoration and gums are also obvious to the observer. A prosthodontist has additional training and qualifications in planning and executing restorative dentistry procedures. If you are concerned about having dentures installed in Atlanta, turn to Dr. Evan Grodin.
Partial Dentures
You may opt for a partial denture when you are missing one or more teeth. Due to his experience as a Prosthodontist, Dr. Grodin understands the importance of precision and accuracy. In addition, a denture must provide comfort while matching the appearance and natural color of the surrounding teeth.
Although traditional partial dentures are removable, the wearer should feel that the device is secure when in place. Dr. Grodin believes that every patient has the right to eat and speak without fear of embarrassment.
Full Denture
A full denture typically replaces an entire row of missing teeth. This approach can challenge dentists who do not have the same training as a prosthodontist. Patients may need to return to have new dentures created, which is neither cost-effective nor reflective of a high standard of care.
Dr. Grodin will use his experience and understanding of oral anatomy to choose the right denture solutions for you. At his Atlanta clinic, patients may also benefit from snap-on dentures, teeth in a day, or All-on-4 dental implants for smile restoration. Supporting dentures with dental implants will solve many of the problems associated with traditional methods.
