Dentures / Partials
Serving Bethesda, Clarksville
and the Greater Maryland area
Full and partial dentures are a tooth replacement option that is minimally invasive, and replaces only the upper or visible portion of the tooth or teeth. Dentures are removable and can be taken out and replaced at any time.
Benefits of dentures
Dentures, both full and partial, offer several benefits, including:
- Dentures are minimally invasive, and require only minor recontouring to the remaining teeth
- Dentures can be adjusted and modified as necessary
- Dentures are a quick and reversible option for tooth replacement
Limitations of dentures
In addition to the benefits, dentures also include some limitations, including:
- Dentures only replace the visible portion of the tooth, not the root
- Some patients find dentures uncomfortable or inconvenient
- Dentures require additional maintenance, including special cleaning procedures
Alternative tooth replacement options
The two primary tooth replacement options in addition to dentures include:
- Dental implants—A permanent, full tooth replacement option, dental implants provide the most complete and natural looking solution for tooth replacement.
- Dental bridges—A permanent replacement option for the upper or visible portion of the tooth, dental bridges are another popular option for tooth replacement.
