Dentures are a popular and effective dental solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and function of your smile. Dr. Will Grella, our skilled dentist in Long Beach, California, is dedicated to providing superior dentures to ensure your comfort and confidence.
Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in various types to address different levels of tooth loss, including:
- Full Dentures: These are used when all natural teeth are missing. Full dentures consist of a complete set of upper and lower teeth, providing a natural-looking and functional smile.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are suitable for individuals with some natural teeth remaining. They fill in the gaps created by missing teeth and are secured in place with clasps or precision attachments.
Benefits of Dentures
- Functional Restoration: Dentures allow you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak with clarity.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: A complete and beautiful smile contributes to heightened self-esteem and well-being.
- Customized Comfort: Professionally crafted dentures are tailored to fit your unique mouth structure.
