Tooth loss is difficult for everyone.  If we have missing teeth, can affect not only our appearance but our ability to chew and speak.  People who have lost their teeth are vulnerable to depression because the feel self-conscience about losing their teeth.  Here at Westside Dental Group, we offer several ways to replace missing teeth and regain self-confidence, improve oral function and restore appearance.

Full and Partial Dentures

There are basically two types of dentures.  One is a full denture that is used to replace all the teeth.  Partials are designed to fit between existing teeth.  Both types of dentures are fashioned to fit the unique shape and size of your mouth.

Dentures and partials are made in a dental lab using very precise molds.  They are meant to fit comfortably over the gums or between the teeth so that a patient who has experienced tooth loss can enjoy a restored smile and improved oral function.  Our dentures are made of the very best materials so that they appear natural and strong.

Implant Supported Dentures

For those patients who don’t like the slipping and sliding of removable dentures, we do offer implant supported dentures.  We embed multiple implants throughout the jawbone that will support the full arch denture.  Patients with full arch implanted supported dentures typically feel more confident in their appearance and ability to eat meals comfortably than they would have with conventional dentures.

Determining The Best Solution For You

If you have suffered with tooth loss, we recommend that you come in for a consultation with our doctors so that our team can help you navigate your tooth replacement options. Our practice is dedicated to offering a compassionate and welcoming environment so that our patients feel comfortable visiting us.

At your consultation, we will perform a thorough oral checkup to determine if you are a candidate for implant-supported dentures, dental implants, or conventional dentures. We will also help you review the costs associated with treatment so that you can choose the right prosthetic for your budget and your needs.
