Dentures

Missing teeth can hurt your confidence and damage your oral health. You may have trouble eating, which can limit your diet. Speaking may become difficult, and facial muscles often droop, making you look older. Dentures, removable prosthetics customized for your mouth, will replace lost teeth and renew the vitality of your smile.

Depending on the number of missing teeth, Dr. Frankel or Dr. Puhl will recommend either full dentures or a partial denture. With full dentures, the prosthesis will replace all your original teeth on the upper, lower, or on both arches. A partial denture, which sits on a metal framework, attaches to your remaining natural teeth, and fills in gaps on the top or bottom of your mouth. Modern dentures are designed to look more natural and fit comfortably, boosting your confidence and improving functionality.

For increased support and longevity, Dr. Frankel or Dr. Puhl may suggest implant-supported dentures. Dental implants are tiny, manmade posts that serve as natural tooth roots. They lock your denture in place, giving you the freedom to eat, smile, and speak with confidence. Dental implants require adequate bone structure, so Dr. Frankel or Dr. Puhl will consult with you about the right denture option in your case.
