If you’re in Peoria and are missing one or more teeth, our team is here to help. At Arrowhead Family Dentistry, we offer both partial and full dentures, which can be used to restore your smile quickly and allow you to get back to your day-to-day life after tooth loss. Schedule a consultation with our Peoria dental team to see if dentures may be the right choice for you!
There are a few different types of partial dentures, but they all do the same thing. Using a metal or plastic framework, they support one or more false teeth, which replace your missing teeth. Partial dentures are held in place by clipping onto your remaining healthy teeth. When properly fitted, they have a very strong hold and will not shift when eating or speaking.
They are often used as a temporary solution before a treatment like a dental implant or dental bridge, but some types of partial dentures such as metal cast metal partial dentures can also be used as a long-term replacement for missing teeth.
Full-arch dentures are only recommended if you have lost most or all of your natural teeth due to an issue like extensive, untreated tooth decay, gum disease, or serious dental trauma.
This is because full-arch dentures must fit over your gums, so they require the extraction of any remaining natural teeth before they can be crafted. With full-arch dentures, you can restore your entire smile in just a few appointments over several weeks. You may even be able to get same-day immediate dentures after your teeth are extracted, to ensure your smile remains beautiful and functional.
If you have had one or more of your teeth knocked out, it is important to get help right away. If you come in soon enough, we may be able to save your tooth, preventing you from needing dentures. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that we will not be able to splint your tooth, so don’t hesitate. You can give us a call for an emergency appointment at (623) 561-0100, or stop by our office at 7777 W. Deer Valley Road, Suite 160, Peoria, Arizona 85382. If you have been missing a tooth for a while, you may be more likely to benefit from dentures. When you come to our office in Peoria, one of our doctors will sit down with you and offer you honest advice about which option is best to restore your smile.
