\"DenturesAfter you\u2019ve suffered significant tooth loss, the most important thing is finding a good replacement promptly. Missing teeth can cause a number of problems with your oral and overall health. Fortunately, full and partial dentures in Kernersville provide an efficient, affordable solution after tooth loss. <\/span>Dr. Veronica Walker<\/span><\/a> explains more below.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Full and Partial Dentures: An Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are two main types of dentures: full\/complete and partial. <\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>full denture<\/b> replaces an entire row of missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. It is made of prosthetic teeth that are fixed into a gum-colored, acrylic base. For full dentures that go in the upper jaw, a plastic covering will go over the roof of the mouth. A complete full denture in the lower jaw is shaped like a U, with room for the tongue. The full denture is held in place with natural suction; a denture adhesive can provide additional stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>partial denture<\/b> fits in with existing natural teeth like a missing puzzle piece. It is usually held in place with metal brackets placed around the existing teeth. A partial denture is an alternative to a dental bridge. <\/span><\/p>\n

To create a full or partial denture, we take impressions (or molds) of your teeth and securely send your treatment information to our trusted lab. There, your denture is created from high-quality materials and sent back to us. The process takes a few weeks. At the end of it, you have a beautiful, customized denture and a complete smile once again! <\/span><\/p>\n
