Partial Dentures
Award-Winning Ventura Dentist
When most people think of dentures, they envision a full set of teeth sitting
in a glass of water each night, then being carefully replaced the next
morning. Not everyone, however, needs a complete set of dentures. Trauma,
poor hygiene, and extraction can all happen to just one or even several
teeth and presents the need for partial dentures.
Our office specializes in partial dentures and is always concerned about
what would best serve our clients' needs. We exercise a high level
of skill in every form of treatment offered. Since our Ventura dentists
began practicing in 1991, we've helped countless individuals achieve
their deserved smile.
Why would I need partial dentures?
It is not uncommon to have a few missing teeth, rather than a whole mouthful.
We often hear of patients who say that they don't mind living with
the gaps, but this is not encouraged. Failing to replace missing teeth
can cause gum disease and impact the position of your other teeth. This
is why partial dentures are so popular, and beneficial, in today's society.
There are several different styles of partial dentures:
- Fixed
- Removable
- Cast metal
- Flexible
- Acrylic
Whether you would benefit from fixed or removable is usually up to the
discretion of your dentist, but many patients are given the option to
choose the material they desire. Cast metal is known for its comfortable
fit and sleek appearance. Flexible partial dentures also offer a natural
fit and require extra time to develop. Acrylic dentures are the most affordable
option but can end up feeling bulky.
Regardless of the style you choose, partial dentures can help keep your
mouth healthy for years down the line. You will find that partial dentures
make it easier to speak and keep the shape of your mouth from shifting
unnecessarily.
At Mark Weitzman, D.D.S., we take great pride in the level of service we
provide our clients with. Our clients walk away with peace of mind and
confidence in their smile.
