Restorative Dentistry and Replacement Teeth
Dentures and Partials
Has dental decay, disease, or trauma robbed you of your smile? Missing teeth diminish your appearance, hold you back socially and professionally, and may contribute to serious health complications. Dr. Lorber creates custom dentures and partials to renew smiles and put patients back on the road to optimal oral and overall health.
Are dentures right for my smile?
Dentures and partials contain natural-looking prosthetic teeth set in a gum-colored base. If you’ve lost all or most of your teeth, then a full set of dentures may be the ideal solution to revitalize your smile. Partial dentures, or partials, are a good choice for patients who still have some healthy teeth remaining. Dr. Lorber will work with you to determine the replacement teeth option that’s best for your individual situation.
What are the benefits of dentures and partials?
With dentures and partials, patients enjoy:
- A more youthful appearance because of added support for facial muscles
- Renewed ability to eat a well-rounded diet
- Improved articulation
- Increased self-esteem
- Stabilization of existing teeth – no drifting
- The ability to smile, speak, and laugh with confidence
- A decreased risk of gum disease
How are dentures and partials attached?
Upper and lower dentures are typically held in place with natural suction or over-the-counter adhesive. Dr. Lorber uses unobtrusive metal clasps to secure partials, or he can design Valplast, metal-free partials. Valplast partials are thin, flexible partials made from gum-colored acrylic for a totally natural-looking design. Alternatively, he may suggest dental implants to affix your prosthetic. Dr. Lorber will help you determine which option is right in your specific circumstances.
