MARIETTA AREA DENTIST EXPLAINS COSMETIC DENTURES

When patients are faced with tooth loss, many consider the fabrication and placement of cosmetic dentures to restore their attractive, healthy smiles. Patients in and around the Marietta, Georgia, area may be wary about the idea of full cosmetic dentures. They may feel as though these teeth won’t look natural. They may worry about them falling out or shifting around. However, when patients need full mouth reconstruction, the most affordable option to replace an entire mouth of teeth may be dentures.

Cosmetic dentures have come a long way over the years. They look more beautiful and natural than ever. Using high-quality materials and an artistic dental laboratory, patients can enjoy a beautiful smile and feel confident when wearing their dentures. Dr. Lamothe of Smyrna Dental can provide quality dentures during complete mouth reconstruction treatment. They are designed to be indistinguishable from healthy, natural teeth in how they feel in the mouth and look and support chewing and other functions.

Cosmetic dentures are generally fabricated for patients who need to replace several or all of their teeth. There are two types of cosmetic dentures:

Full dentures address an entire arch of missing or extracted teeth. This option incorporates false gum tissue and prosthetic teeth for full coverage. They may be held in place with natural suction or adhesive products.
Partial dentures are typically used to replace at least a few teeth or groups of teeth within the dental arch. They are fabricated from a metal and plastic framework, including false teeth. The partial denture snaps into place using the existing teeth for support to restore the function and beauty of the smile.

Dr. Lamothe and the team of Smyrna Dental provide new and existing patients with full mouth reconstruction. These services may include the preparation and placement of partial or complete dentures. We can dramatically improve the function and aesthetics of the smile! Other treatments may be incorporated into patients’ treatment plans, including porcelain veneers or professional teeth whitening for those patients with some natural teeth or with teeth that are good candidates for other restorative or cosmetic services.
