The full dentures that are commonly depicted in media are just one out of many options! Dental bridges and partial dentures, for example, can restore the oral function of those missing only a few pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested? These two replacements are pretty similar, so if you\u2019re looking for ways to fill in less dramatic smile gaps, it\u2019s beneficial to know how they\u2019re different. Keep reading for an informative compare and contrast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Bridges: A Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have only one missing tooth? Or perhaps a short row of side-by-side gaps? Then a dental bridge could be your replacement solution. This permanent prosthetic is designed to use your natural teeth as supports on either side, and \u201cbridge\u201d the gap with your customized false tooth (or teeth). In this case, the name is almost literal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partial Dentures: Another Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Partial dentures, or simply \u201cpartials\u201d, can replace gaps that are more scattered. In other words, if you\u2019re missing a molar and an incisor, it\u2019s no problem! Your dentist will position the ceramic teeth strategically around an acrylic, gum-colored base, filling both gaps at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Denture Type is Best for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the nature of their design, dental bridges and partials naturally have differences when it comes to their pros and cons, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since dental bridges are permanent (they can only be removed by a dentist), you can rely on them to stay in place when you eat and talk. You can also brush and floss them like you would natural teeth, so there\u2019s no maintenance learning curve. Partials, however, are intended to be removed at night and for cleaning. On the other hand, they\u2019re more flexible in terms of which dental gaps they can fill and are typically more cost-effective than bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which one is best for you will depend on your preferences, but also your unique oral situation. That\u2019s what a consultation is for! Your dentist can take a look at your teeth, and with their professional eye, determine what your options are. The best way to make an informed decision about your new teeth is to ask them for the details, so don\u2019t forget to give them a call before you commit to a dental bridge or partials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rauchberg.com\/meet-the-dentist-team.html\">Rauchberg Dental Group<\/a>, we\u2019re proud to have several specialists on board so we can serve all your dental needs under one convenient roof.
