Why Natural-Looking Partial Dentures Are Changing the Smile Game

Natural Looking Partial Dentures in Dedham MA

When you have missing teeth, the first thing you probably think about is how it looks when you smile. But missing teeth affect other things, too. Dr. Monica Anand and Dr. Anshuman Rawat at Westwood Dentistry specialize in natural-looking partial dentures that blend in perfectly with your other teeth.

What Are Partial Dentures?

Parials are a removable replacement for when you’re missing just some of your teeth (not all of them). They make it easier to chew when you’re eating, plus stopping the rest of your teeth from moving around, and causing your teeth to become crooked.

How Do Partials Compare to Different Types of Dentures?

Partials are different from full dentures. Traditional full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, your top or bottom teeth. Partials just fill in a few teeth that are gone. At your consultation, Dr. Anand or Dr. Rawat will sit down with you to discuss your specific situation. They’ll lay out all of your options for you.

How Do Partial Dentures Improve My Smile and Overall Oral Health?

The biggest change you’ll notice is in your smile. Those gaps are gone. But it’s not just about looks. You’ll speak more clearly, and you can chew your food better. A partial also holds the line, stopping your remaining teeth from shifting into the empty spaces.

What Are the Materials Used to Make Partial Dentures?

Partials are specifically designed to blend in naturally with your teeth. The base is gum-colored acrylic, and a thin metal framework is sometimes used to hold it all together. Dr. Anand and Dr. Rawat are meticulous about this, so they’re comfortable for you, so the final piece looks natural.

How Do I Take Care of My Partial Dentures So They Last a Long Time?

You’ll need to clean them every day with a special brush, just not with regular toothpaste. Be sure to schedule regular check-ups with Dr. Anand and Dr. Rawat so they can ensure your fit stays right. You need to properly store it in water or a solution when you’re not wearing it.
