Periodontal disease and tooth decay are the two most common
causes of missing teeth. Dentures, which are custom-made from
acrylic resin, are removable prosthetic teeth that can be used to restore the
function you have lost due to missing teeth.
Dentures
can be either full or partial. Partial
dentures leave some natural teeth in the mouth and use metal attachments to anchor
themselves to the remaining teeth.
Full dentures
are used when no natural teeth remain, or when the existing teeth are badly damaged.
In these cases, the remaining teeth must be removed and full dentures can be a
good solution to their problem.
Dentures are a proven, natural-looking
solution to missing teeth. Dentures - either full or partial can be made in a
highly cosmetic fashion where they do not show traditional metal clips. These
are called Precision Attached Partial Dentures.
