When teeth are lost, it can affect speech, eating, and it can alter one’s appearance. It’s important for all-over health to replace missing teeth. Dr. Eric J. Aubert of Forest Park Dental offers partial and full dentures for his patients in the St. Louis, MO area looking to replace teeth.
Full dentures come in two different forms. There are conventional dentures, which are placed after all of the remaining teeth have been extracted and the gum and bone tissues have healed, and there are immediate dentures, which are placed the same day that the remaining teeth are extracted. With immediate dentures, there is no time spent without teeth. However, there will most likely need to be a re-fitting once the gum and bone tissues heal.
Partial dentures are for when not all of the teeth in your mouth have been lost or extracted. Partial dentures fill in the missing spaces. They are similar to bridges, except they are able to be removed. Dr. Aubert will examine your particular condition and decide which type of dentures will be right for you.
Losing teeth can cause a change in the shape of your face, if not replaced. For a confident, new smile, contact Dr. Eric J. Aubert at our St. Louis, MO dental practice. To schedule an appointment, call Forest Park Dental at (314) 367-7200 or visit our website, www.forestparkdental.com.
