Types of Cosmetic Dentures

Many patients who are faced with tooth loss may learn about a restorative approach such as dentures. While images of grandma's dentures often come to mind, these restorations have come a long way over the years and look more natural and are better fitting than ever before.

There are two types of cosmetic dentures available at the practice of Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. including full dentures and partial dentures. Full dentures are the kind used to replace all teeth in the upper and/or lower dental arch. Partial dentures replace one or more teeth in the arch and snap into place using a metal and acrylic framework. Full dentures are made of acrylic and include false gums as well.

Both are economical, attractive, and easy to care for, making them a desirable solution for many patients on a budget. Individuals who speak to the team of Miami Modern Dental to learn about restorations are often encouraged to consider dentures as a viable tooth replacement option. However, they are not for everyone, and some patients may be better suited for restorations such as dental bridges or dental implants depending on their needs and desires. A consultation appointment with our father/son team is the first step to making a decision as to which restorative option is most appropriate.
