Tooth loss can be challenging, but it does not have to mark the end of your smile. Choosing the right dental prosthesis for you will depend on a number of factors. This can include your pattern of tooth loss, how many structures are missing, the health of your gums and other supporting structures, and more. When tooth loss is too substantial for a dental bridge to address–such as losing several or all of the teeth on your upper or lower dental ridge–Dr. Smith and our team may recommend a partial or full denture to restore your oral appearance and functional capabilities.
To optimize results and meet the diverse needs of our patients, we have a few different treatment options available. Full dentures are excellent for complete or nearly complete tooth loss, but when enough healthy teeth remain, a partial denture may be designed to fit over the upper or lower ridge. Additionally, qualifying patients with enough healthy bone structure may consider implant-retained dentures for additional strength and stability.
At Pecan Tree Dental, Dr. Smith takes pride in personalizing every service the practice provides, including services for patients suffering from tooth loss.
