At Innovative Dental By Dr. A, patients of Philadelphia, PA can obtain quality dental care with our team of dedicated professionals. Dr. A is our primary dentist who can assist patients of all ages. If you are considering options to restore or replace your missing teeth, he encourages you to learn more about replacement with dentures.
Dr. A describes dentures as tooth replacement solutions for the smile. Patients missing one or more teeth in their smile may want to turn to the benefits of using dentures as opposed to other options such as dental bridges and dental implants. Below is a description of each tooth replacement option available at our practice for patients interested in smile enhancement and restoration:
Several different factors need to be taken into consideration when patients are considering tooth replacement options. First and foremost, patients need to determine how many teeth need to be replaced. Then, the cost of the treatment is assessed. Patients with dental insurance coverage will want to bring their dental insurance card with them to their appointment so the front office team can evaluate the benefits available for a patient. In many cases, the cost of dentures can be covered in part or in whole by dental insurance plans.
Additionally, the state of the patient’s current smile may determine the best restoration for their needs. For example, a patient who has lost all their teeth due to periodontal disease may not have enough bone left in the jaw to place dental implants successfully. This would eliminate the ability to enjoy implant-retained dentures. During an initial consultation visit and assessment, Dr. A can decide as to which solution may be better suited for an individual.
Denture care varies depending on the type of denture that is obtained. It is essential that patients take the time to speak with their dentist about how to care for their restorations to ensure longevity and proper functionality.
