New Patients Are Welcome!
Several practical replacement options exist to restore one's smile, even if the patient struggles with teeth loss. Missing teeth are not just a matter of appearance; they also affect the health of the remaining teeth and everyday comfort. Therefore, it is common to use dentures, which are made to fit you perfectly. Our dental studio offers dentures and partial dentures in St. Helena and the surrounding areas. With our help, you can select the type of denture that will work for you. We use high-quality materials and advanced fitting techniques to support your comfort and dental health.
Types of Dentures
Patients often find full dentures and partial dentures when searching for types of dentures. To find out which denture is best for you, don't hesitate to get in touch with one of our team members at St. Helena Dental Studio.
Full Dentures
Generally used by seniors, these dentures replace the entire set of teeth. However, some patients are good candidates for immediate placement. They sit directly on top of the gums. In these cases, the dentist places the previously made dentures immediately after removing the teeth. The dentist may recommend waiting eight to 12 weeks after teeth removal for everyone else.
Partial Dentures
Dentists may recommend partial dentures when the patient still has teeth to blend in with the newly created teeth. Often, this involves attaching a pink-colored base to a metal piece. The metal prevents movement by anchoring the false teeth to the natural teeth.
Dentures: When to get them
Every time someone loses a tooth, dentures become a viable option. Even the loss of one tooth can result in the use of partial dentures to rectify the problem. In addition, a person can wear dentures temporarily until we install implants or bridges.
One of the most common causes of tooth loss among young people is facial trauma, including sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and bad falls. These situations can result in not only missing teeth but also cracked and broken teeth. We recommend visiting our dental office for a dental exam and getting your perfect denture.
