When teeth are lost, the ability to eat and chew properly is impaired, making it more difficult to maintain a healthy diet. Premature aging, facial changes, impaired speech, tooth shifting and periodontal diseases may also occur with tooth loss. If you have experienced any of these problems, call today for an evaluation to learn how we can help you.
Included among the varied solutions to tooth loss are complete dentures and removable partial dentures , fixed bridges or implant restorations. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing on the upper or lower jaw. Dr. Fagin and his team are prominent in the art and science of denture creations. Properly designed dentures will appear natural and provide for a perfect smile. The use of custom tinting of the pink tissue part of the denture can also be done for further enhanced esthetics. Dr . Fagin can custom fabricate and fit your dentures, giving you improved speech and a more desirable appearance.
If you have concerns about missing teeth, removable partial dentures may provide a less costly solution than implants and fixed bridges. A removable partial denture can be used when there are remaining healthy teeth. Many of our patients don't want to show the metal clasps of their Partial Denture. Often we can provide options of hidden clasps, special attachments which allow us to eliminate clasps, or utilize a Valplast partial denture where the clasps appear like pink gum tissue. There are a variety of special attachments, such as ERA's from Sterngold or Locators attachments . Partial dentures maintain tooth alignment by preventing your remaining teeth from shifting, therefore improving the long term stability of your dentition . When teeth shift, bone loss often follows, leading to further tooth loss. If this is happening to you, to prevent further problems, call Fagin & Associates today for your confidential denture consultation.
Remember, we at Fagin & Associates are Prosthodontists, specialists with extensive training and years of experience in creating attractive and improved fitting dentures.
