Benefits of Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore your smile. If you’ve lost all of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay or injury, replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance as well as your health. At Patchogue and Hampton Family Dental P.C. we provide our patients with several denture options, but the two most common are complete or partial dentures. Complete dentures replace all the teeth while a partial denture fills in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevents other teeth from changing position.


While dentures may take some getting used to, and will never feel exactly the same as one’s natural teeth, today’s dentures are natural looking and more comfortable than ever. That’s because dentures make it easier to eat and speak better than you could without teeth.  When you lose all of your teeth, facial muscles can sag, making you look older. Dentures can help fill out the appearance of your face and profile as well as improve the look of your smile. Another added benefit is that the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period.


If you would like to inquire about replacing missing teeth, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
