Maintaining teeth is necessary for function and wellbeing. Smiles are not only the first impression you give to others but teeth are used to help you chew and digest food. Teeth also facilitate speaking. Without teeth, we are not able to enjoy our favorite foods, communicate effectively with others, or provide a beautiful smile when we meet and greet strangers, friends, family, and coworkers. Dr. Munira Lokhandwala of the San Jose area believes in providing cosmetic and restorative dentistry to patients who have lost one or more teeth. The loss of multiple teeth will require significant restoration such as full cosmetic dentures.
It is important for patients to have effective denture solutions available to them. There are two primary types of dentures, full cosmetic dentures, and partial dentures. Full cosmetic dentures are the appliances used to replace an entire arch of teeth. This may be the upper, lower, or both arches depending on the patient’s specific concerns. Patients may use partial dentures when one or more teeth are missing on the top and/or bottom arch. Full dentures are made of professional-grade acrylics, while partials are integrated with metal that is used to allow the denture to snap into place within the arch.
All denture solutions available at StarBrite Dental are made with the best quality materials and are affordable for most patients. Dr. Munira Lokhandwala also offers financing options to make dentures more attainable and can work with dental insurance plans to reduce the out-of-pocket expenses one may experience.
Dr. Munira Lokhandwala and the team of StarBrite Dental are here to help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation appointment and learn about the advantages of dentures and the ways in which they can restore beauty and function to one’s smile. Patients must undergo a physical examination and x-rays before determining whether dentures are appropriate-in some instances, dental bridges, or dental implants may be preferred alternatives as they are a more permanent treatment.
