Partials and Dentures<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]Partial and complete dentures<\/a> are used to replace few or many missing teeth. When the majority of the teeth are affected by advanced periodontal disease, decay or other problems, extracting them may be the only option. Removing diseased teeth is often the best way to eliminate infection and restore the gums and the supporting bone to a healthy condition.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]
\nBefore the teeth are extracted, impressions of the upper and lower jaws are taken. Precise models will be made from their impressions by the dental lab. Your dentures will be created using these models.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]If only a few teeth are missing, or if most of the teeth may be left in place a partial denture is a common alternative to the complete denture. The process for creating the partial is essentially the same as for the complete denture but the final partial denture is fitted to and among the remaining teeth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]A partial denture is an effective method of filling spaces between teeth, maintaining normal chewing ability and preventing the shifting of teeth that can occur when there are no adjacent teeth to help support them. Learn more…<\/a>[\/vc_column_text]

Tooth Colored Restorations<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]The most favored choice of material by patients and dentists alike when filling a cavity is a composite resin that blends with the color of your natural teeth. The material is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional and durable. The material attaches to the tooth structure forming a cohesive bond. Many people have silver mercury colored fillings, called amalgams, which can be unsightly. Since the composite resin is virtually undetectable with the naked eye, many patients choose this material.
