Rebuild Your Smile and Self-Confidence with Dentures and Partials
November 12, 2013
When you’re missing some or even all of your natural teeth, it can be difficult to share with your smile with the world around you for fear of embarrassed. Even worse, unsightly gaps can cause additional oral health problems, such as an increased risk of gum disease, jawbone deterioration, and even additional tooth loss. Thankfully, there are several tooth replacement options available that can suit all sorts of unique needs, and your local dentists in Phoenix and Glendale will be happy to help find the one you enjoy most so that you can finally enjoy the full and functional smile you deserve. If ease and affordability are important to you, dentures or partials may be the best fit!
Full Dentures
As you can probably guess, a full denture consists of a complete top or bottom row of teeth that are attached to a base that resembles your gums. When worn, they stay in place with the help of natural suction and sometimes adhesive. They’re lifelike, comfortable, and removable, allowing for easy cleaning. Plus, they’ll get rid of that pesky sagging look that can sometimes occur whenever patients go without a large number of their teeth for a long time.
Partials
Partial dentures allow patients to hold onto the natural teeth they still have while replenishing those they’ve lost. The restoration is completely customized, fitting into one’s mouth like a puzzle-piece. They stay in place with the help of clips and brackets and, like dentures, are removable.
Contact your local dentists in Glendale and Phoenix today if you have any questions about dentures or partials, or if you’re ready to go ahead and schedule an appointment. Our team is happy to help patients achieve the happy and healthy teeth they want and deserve. We also serve the areas of West Phoenix, Peoria, and beyond.

Partial and Full Dentures: What You Need to Know
March 29, 2013
When you’re missing one or more of your natural teeth, it can be difficult to even get out of bed in the morning, not to mention share your smile with the world around you. You might be embarrassed or afraid of what other people will think if they notice. Even worse, missing teeth can cause a host of further dental health problems if their spaces are left empty for too long. Thankfully, many dentists offer a variety of restorative options designed to fit a patient’s unique needs and wishes. One of those methods, dentures, is a great choice for patients who are seeking an affordable, secure solution to tooth loss.
Dentures have been around for hundreds of years – even George Washington wore a pair! Of course, they’ve also earned a reputation over time for being a poor replacement for teeth. While the dentures of past years may have been one-size-fits all and distinctly uncomfortable, these modern-day appliances are now custom made for patients and guaranteed to feel safe and stable in your mouth. That’s why your local dentists in Phoenix and Glendale are happy to offer them alongside other restorative dentistry techniques.
A full denture consists of a row of teeth that are attached to a gum-colored base. They’re able to stay in place with the help of natural suction; a little dental adhesive can also be used in order to provide a little extra security for the wearer. Full dentures can help patients eat and speak much more easily; plus, they’ll help keep your facial muscles from sagging, which often happens due to prolonged teeth loss.
Partial dentures can be recommended to patients who want to replace missing teeth without sacrificing the natural ones they have left. It will be created to fit your mouth like a puzzle, the piece including only the teeth you need to replace. It stays in place with the help of clips and brackets. Both full dentures and partials are removable, which allows for easy cleaning!
Contact your local dentists in Glendale and Phoenix for more information about dentures, as well as the other various restorative dentistry methods they offer. Their offices are also happy to welcome patients from West Phoenix, Peoria, and beyond.

What You Need To Know About Implant Dentistry
January 30, 2013
While several fields of dentistry encompass a wide variety of services and treatments, some are much more specialized and define one type of dental procedure. Implant dentistry would fall under this latter category, as it deals solely with the placement and/or restoration of dental implants, which are a relatively new, incredibly durable restorative technique for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to trauma or decay.
Patients who are interested in implant dentistry must first schedule a thorough evaluation with their local dentist, which will include x-rays. This is necessary in order to ensure you are a viable candidate for dental implants. To be able to support dental implants, you must be in good health (especially your gums), as well as have adequate bone structure in your jaw to support them.
In the first stage of the procedure, a titanium post will be placed in your jawbone – whether you require one or more will be determined by how many teeth you’re missing.
In the second stage, nature is allowed to take its course. Over a period of time, your natural bone tissue with fuse with the new implants, creating a durable platform for your new smile. Once your dentist has determined that the bond has become strong enough, they will attach your new tooth or teeth, giving you a revitalized smile that looks and feels natural.
Dental implants can used to improve on a number of restorative dental techniques as well, such as bridges and partials. Full dentures often slip or feel uncomfortable when worn, but with the support of implants, they can be stable and secure. In addition, dental implants offers patients restored function and an improved capacity for eating and speaking.
While not every dental practice offers dental implants as a procedural option, your dentists in Glendale and Phoenix have the added benefit of being able to provide all the implant dentistry services you need in their offices, taking you from consultation to completion without you ever having to seek outside treatment. Our offices are here to help restore both your smile and your sense of self-confidence. We also serve patients from the Peoria and West Phoenix areas.
