Tooth loss can affect more than your appearance. It may change how you eat, speak, and feel in everyday social situations. Dentures in Philadelphia offer a well-established solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring daily function. At Philadelphia Dental Smiles, full and partial dentures are carefully designed to support comfort, appearance, and oral health, with a focus on individualized care rather than one-size-fits-all treatment.

Why Dentures Matter After Tooth Loss

Missing teeth can lead to changes in how your mouth functions and how your face is supported. When teeth are lost, surrounding teeth may shift, chewing efficiency may decline, and speaking clearly can become more challenging. Over time, tooth loss may also affect facial shape, as teeth play an important role in supporting the lips and cheeks.

Dentures in Philadelphia are designed to replace missing teeth and restore essential oral functions. While conventional dentures do not stop natural changes in the jawbone over time, they can help distribute chewing forces and reduce daily strain on remaining oral structures. With regular dental visits, adjustments can be made to maintain comfort and function as your mouth changes.

Full Dentures vs. Partial Dentures

Dentures are not the same for everyone. The type recommended depends on how many natural teeth remain and your overall oral health.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both are missing. They rest on the gums and are designed to restore a full set of teeth. Full dentures are custom-made to fit the contours of your mouth and provide balanced function for chewing and speaking.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are recommended when some healthy natural teeth remain. They typically attach to existing teeth for support and help prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position. Partial dentures replace missing teeth while preserving your natural smile as much as possible.
