With cosmetic dentistry, patients can enhance their smiles with restorative options such as dental implants, dental bridges, and removable partial dentures. Spring patients can visit his practice to learn more about each of these options, and determine which may be best for them.

Dental implants are permanent restorations that are surgically placed into the bone; they can restore one or more missing teeth, and can last a lifetime. This is considered the “gold standard” when it comes to replacing teeth. Another consideration is dental bridges, which use the surrounding teeth to support a false tooth. They are not removable, and will often last several years before requiring replacement.

However, there are situations in which patients may be better off with a removable partial denture. Spring dentist, Dr. Dernick, DDS, uses partials to restore the smile, often to stay within a patient’s budget or as a temporary solution until he or she makes a decision on a permanent restoration. Removable partial dentures are made with a metal framework and they snap into place in the dental arch. They utilize false teeth to replace the missing teeth and restore the smile to its original beauty.

Patients like the ease of partial dentures, and many find that they are easy to use and keep clean. They need to be removed and cleaned separately from the patient’s natural teeth, but this is easy and simple to do. Dr. Dernick, DDS works with patients to show them the proper ways of maintaining their restoration so they can last as long as possible. Not one single restoration works best for every patient, and Dr. Dernick, DDS can speak with patients to help them decide the best treatment for improving their smile.
