How dentures are used to replace missing teeth in the smile 

Dentures are one of many ways to replace one or more missing natural teeth within the smile. They are typically the most economical option compared to dental implants and dental bridges. The team at Cambridge Family Dental in Cambridge, Wisconsin, encourages patients to be prudent about replacing teeth that have been lost or extracted as soon as possible to avoid further issues with the smile.

What varieties of dentures can be used to replace missing teeth?

At Cambridge Family Dental, Dr. Angela Bauer Williams offers several options for patients interested in restoring their smiles after tooth loss and extraction. These options include:

  • Partial dentures. Partial dentures are an excellent dental solution for patients who have lost or extracted one or more teeth in the dental arch. These appliances are made with metal and acrylic and include false teeth called pontics that slide into place within the dental arch to replace the teeth and restore the smile’s appearance and function. They are easy to remove and care for
  • Full dentures. Patients with complete tooth loss or extraction will need to replace the entire arch of teeth. This can be done with a full or “complete” denture. Full dentures are fabricated using high-quality acrylics and include false teeth and gums. They fit over the dental ridge and can be kept in place using the natural suction of the mouth or added denture adhesives
  • Implant-supported dentures. Patients considering implant-supported dentures will enjoy their stability and function. Four to six dental implants are placed in the jawbone along the gumline and hold a full denture in place for optimum results

Which type of denture is right for me?

Dentures may be an excellent solution for patients seeking an economical way of restoring their smile following single tooth loss or extraction or complete tooth loss in the smile.

The most important part of my practice is taking care of my patients in a compassionate and honorable way. I will treat you like I treat my own family and friends, with utmost honesty and your best interests at heart at all times.

We only hire the best people and use the best materials for our patients to ensure healthy, long-lasting, and beautiful treatment. My practice is designed with your comfort in mind, from the inviting waiting room upon entry to the relaxing view with gorgeous landscaping and wildlife from our treatment rooms. We even have blankets and headphones for your comfort.

I utilize only the most modern and proven techniques and materials in treatment. That way, my patients get all the benefits of the best care possible. We have all the latest technologies, including digital scanners for optimal results, digital x-rays for precision, and even intraoral cameras to take pictures of teeth. That way, if you do need treatment, we can show you exactly why, so there is no uncertainty.

I have been in practice for over 20 years, and during that time I have strived to be the best dentist possible for my patients. In 2017 I was honored with a Fellowship Award from the Academy of General Dentistry. Just this year, the same Academy awarded me with a Mastership, which only two percent of practicing dentists currently hold. That is my practice! I am Dr. Angela Bauer, and I invite you to come and see why we are different.
