When you are missing several teeth in a row, dentures are often the best solution. Dentures can be used to replace multiple teeth at once, restoring strength, function, and beauty. Full dentures are most commonly secured with adhesives, while partial dentures can be supported by a dental bridge.

When you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants may be a better solution. Dental implants can be used to hold a porcelain crown or other dental restoration in place, and offer the strongest base for an artificial tooth.

Dentures and Dental Implants

Dentures secured with adhesives or bridges will work, but are far from ideal. These methods of securing dentures can result in adjacent tooth damage, slippage, and the eventual collapse of your jawbone.

Dental implants and mini implants can be used to secure both full and partial dentures. When implants are used, your jawbone is strengthened, adjacent teeth are protected, and the risk of tooth slippage is eliminated.
During your initial consultation with Hampton dentist Dr. Michael Folck, the best solution for your tooth replacement can be determined.
