When patients think of artificial teeth, they often remember their grandparents’ false teeth. These fake-looking prosthetics would fall out of the mouth and keep them from eating their favorite foods. Thankfully, over the years, dental advancements have been able to ensure that artificial teeth no longer look artificial and that they function much better than they did decades ago.
Dr. Leif Loberg of Laguna Hills is a dentist at Loberg Professional Dental Corporation who provides his patients with artificial teeth. These dentures are fabricated as either full dentures or partial dentures.
A full denture is made to replace an entire arch of teeth. This may be on the top, bottom, or both arches. They integrate not only acrylic teeth that are made to match the smile, but acrylic gum tissue. When worn, many patients feel confident in their smiles and others will be unaware that they have false teeth.
Partial dentures are made for patients who are missing one or more teeth within their dental arch. They are made of acrylic and metal frameworks that snap into place using the existing teeth for support. This also helps in spreading out the chewing and biting forces when eating. Partial dentures can be easily removed for cleaning and they fit firmly into place for effectiveness and comfort.
