Dentures Restore Quality of Life
Today, people don't have to live with the frustration and embarrassment of missing teeth. In fact, modern dentures look totally natural, and improvements in the flexibility of dental materials make them more comfortable than ever. Some patients prefer dental-implant-retained dentures, called overdentures, the dependable alternative to adhesive-secured dentures.

Dr. De Angelo will assess your unique case, then he'll recommend the best replacement option for your missing teeth. He may suggest a bridge, partial, denture, or dental implants, depending on your physical condition and goals. Partials and dentures are made of prosthetic teeth anchored to a gum-colored base. A partial replaces multiple teeth by fitting with existing teeth, much like a jigsaw puzzle. Full dentures replace all teeth on an upper or lower jaw.

Usually, partials stay in place with clasps, while dentures require adhesive cream for security. However, if you would prefer a partial or denture that will not slip out of place, an overdenture may be your best option. Adequate bone tissue and good oral health are required prior to dental implant placement. Dr. De Angelo can help you determine the best option for your case.
