The need for dentures will depend on your current oral health, as will the type of denture needed. If you are only missing one or two teeth, Polk Dental Associates may recommend a dental bridge over a denture. Those missing multiple sections of teeth may need a partial denture. A full denture, meanwhile, is best when either a single arch or both arches need to be replaced. To properly wear any of these dentures, patients must have healthy gum tissue and a healthy jawbone. To decide which option is best for you, call Polk Dental Associates to schedule a consultation.
