You never thought you'd be here, studying your reflection and looking at the gap in your smile where your front teeth used to be. Your teeth have defined your smile for decades, but now your tongue instinctively searches for those familiar front teeth that helped you whistle and gave character to your laugh.
Fortunately, tooth replacement options are available that can restore your confidence and make you look forward to smiling in pictures again. Partial dentures are a popular choice.
What Are Partial Dentures?
We use partial dentures to replace one or more missing teeth; they are customized to your smile and can fill the gaps where your front teeth used to be. You may need partial dentures for your front teeth due to:
- Injury
- Decay
- Other dental issues
Replacing Your Front Teeth: The Options
Before creating a treatment plan, we’ll conduct a thorough examination. Then, we can discuss and recommend which type of partial denture will be the most comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
Here are the possible options for you to choose from:
- Traditional metal framework partial dentures — A metal frame houses your prosthetic teeth, and this frame anchors onto your existing teeth with clasps. A traditional metal framework denture is commonly used for front teeth because it offers strength and stability.
- Plastic or acrylic partial dentures — These dentures use a plastic base with metal clasps to hook onto your adjacent teeth. They are lighter than metal framework dentures but may not be as comfortable. Plastic dentures are often less expensive than metal dentures.
- Flexible partial dentures — Made of soft, pliable material, these partial dentures adapt to your gum shape. They don’t use metal clasps because their flexibility allows them to stay in place. They are popular with patients looking for a metal-free alternative.
