If you have missing teeth, you already know how missing teeth can greatly affect your oral health, self-confidence and even your overall quality of life. Thankfully, modern dentistry offers several solutions to restore your smile and functionality. One popular option is dentures, a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth. Let’s explore why dentures remain a top choice for many individuals seeking tooth replacement options.

-Cost-effective solution: Dentures are still one of the most affordable alternatives to getting dental implants or bridges. They are generally less expensive, making them accessible to a wider range of patients. Moreover, the process of getting dentures is often quicker and less invasive, resulting in reduced dental expenses.

-Restored functionality: Dentures are designed to mimic the function of your natural teeth, allowing you to chew, bite and speak with ease. They restore your ability to enjoy a varied diet, ensuring proper digestion and nutrition your body needs to thrive. Additionally, dentures provide support to your surrounding facial structures, preventing facial sagging and maintaining your youthful appearance.

-Improved aesthetics: Missing teeth can leave you with a huge impact on your smile and facial aesthetics. The good news is, dentures are custom-crafted to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth. The result? You get a seamless and natural-looking smile that restores your self-confidence and improves your overall facial harmony.

-Easy maintenance and repair: Caring for your dentures is relatively simple. Regular cleaning and proper oral hygiene practices (brushing and soaking), help maintain their longevity. In case of damage or wear, dentures can be easily repaired or adjusted by one of our prosthodontic professionals, eliminating the need for costly replacements.

-Versatility: Dentures offer a versatile solution for people dealing with multiple missing teeth or even complete tooth loss. Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth, while complete dentures replace an entire arch of teeth. Best of all, they can be customized to fit your specific needs, providing a tailored solution that addresses your unique oral health requirements.

-Non-invasive procedure: Unlike dental implants that require surgical placement, dentures do not involve any invasive procedures. The process of getting dentures typically involves taking impressions of your mouth and crafting a customized appliance that fits comfortably to your specifications. 

-Reversible option: Dentures offer the advantage of being a reversible dental treatment. If needed, they can be easily removed and replaced with a different type of dental prosthesis. This flexibility provides you with peace of mind if you decide to explore other tooth replacement options in the future.

When it comes to your smile, there are times you may need dental restorations to replace missing teeth. February  is host to Valentine’s Day and National Toothache Day, which makes it a great time to show your smile some love and make sure your pearly whites get the attention they need and deserve. Never ignore a toothache, because unless it’s from a bit of food lodged between the gums and teeth, there is likely something very wrong with the tooth.

Never Ignore a Toothache

A toothache can arise for several reasons including severe infection that has damaged a big area of the tooth and the supportive bone material. Another cause is when tooth decay has ravaged a tooth so much that it can’t be fixed with a dental restoration. Also, our doctors may extract a tooth when there is extensive crowding in the mouth from having too many teeth to fit properly. Don’t worry though, if you have a tooth that needs pulling, our prosthodontists can use sedation dentistry to make sure your tooth extraction is both comfortable and as painless as possible. We understand that your dental experience leaves a lasting impression.

Once one or more teeth are gone, our skilled Denver Restorative Dentistry team can replace missing teeth. We have a variety of tooth replacement choices that we have used to help many satisfied patients smile again with pride by replacing lost teeth with one of our premier dental restorations:

We are excited to help you do the same for your smile! We can customize a treatment plan for you so that you can once again smile, eat and speak with ease and confidence. No more hiding your smile when you are with others. A healthy looking smile can make an impact on your personal and work relationships and improve your quality of life.

Call Today!

Now is a good time to show your smile some love as your oral health truly impacts many areas of your life. One of our premier  prosthodontists, Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok will be happy to meet with you to evaluate your oral health and offer restorative solutions in Broomfield, Colorado. Please call 303-586-1019 today!

When it comes to your oral health, nothing beats preventative care to keep your smile healthy, strong and beautiful. An unhealthy smile doesn’t just feel bad, but it looks bad too when you have decaying or missing teeth. This can make you feel self-conscious and afraid to smile, costing you diminished self-confidence.

At-Home Routine (Brush and Floss)

Our prosthodontists and team is a firm believer in preventative care, which begins in the home. Daily brushing and flossing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste will help remove harmful oral plaque that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Sticking to a nutritious diet while limiting sugary and acidic foods and beverages will also protect tooth enamel. You are essentially on the front lines of defense when it comes to protecting your smile, and your teeth and gums will reflect this.

Routine Dental Cleanings and Exams

Your daily oral hygiene care, combined with regular, twice-yearly dental cleanings and exams complement your efforts to protect your smile. During these visits, our prosthodontists will assess your oral health with a detailed dental exam using dental X-rays. A periodontal probing will be done to assess your gum health and to diagnose any signs of gum disease. Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz want to make sure that any dental conditions or diseases, like tooth decay, bone loss or other dental problems are spotted early so treatment is minimally invasive and most effectively applied.

(Optional) Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments

One of our skilled dental hygienists will remove all the hardened tartar from your teeth and around the gum line, and polish your teeth to remove stains to make your tooth enamel shine! Depending on your dental needs, this is also the time when applying dental sealants on the hard to clean molars in the back of the mouth may be done, as well as applying a fluoride treatment if your enamel needs strengthening to keep out cavities. While optional, both dental sealants and fluoride treatments are effective preventative measures to take to ensure a healthier smile.

If you have any questions or concerns about your smile or family members, our experienced team is ready to help! As always, we support healthy beautiful smiles to boost self-confidence!

Losing a tooth to decay or injury is never fun, that’s why Denver Restorative Dentistry strives to help protect your teeth with dental cleanings and exams and root canal therapy to save a tooth when possible. But if you do lose a tooth or require extraction, it should be replaced with a dental restoration. Dental implants are a great way to make sure the jaw bone that supported the tooth stays healthy, preserving your facial structure and appearance so your smile looks great.

Our prosthodontists, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz, and our team in Broomfield, Colorado offer dental implants for our patients who have lost teeth. As dental restorations go, they are one of the most stable tooth replacements out there since they are implanted in the jaw bone. Dental implants can replace one lost tooth, multiple teeth or even an entire arch.

Biocompatible, Sturdy and Long-Lasting

The dental implant post, or screw, is biocompatible with your mouth as it is made from titanium. It is surgically implanted into the missing tooth area, acting as a tooth root. Once the surgery site heals and the bone fuses to the screw you will have a stable, durable tooth replacement once the implant restoration is custom-fitted on top of the post. The result? You will have a natural-looking and feeling tooth that can last many years.

Our team of prosthodontists at Denver Restorative Dentistry has years of experience restoring smiles with dental implants and making sure your end result is perfect for you. As it looks, feels and functions just like the rest of your natural teeth so you can smile again with confidence. If you take care of your dental implant, it can last for a lifetime since the long term success rate is between 95-98 % easily outlasting traditional dentures and bridges that need upkeep and repairs and replacement.

Why Choose a Dental Implant

  • They are the only tooth replacement option that stabilizes the bone and surrounding teeth, preserving jaw bone from being lost over time.
  • Unlike bridges, they don’t involve altering the surrounding healthy teeth to hold them securely in place.
  • Unlike dentures that can severely damage surrounding teeth, bone, and soft tissue in the mouth over time, or shift around in the mouth, impacting your ability to chew, speak and even clean, your implant will stay securely put in your mouth.
  • Unlike dentures and bridges, dental implants don’t require extra maintenance.

As you can see, dental implants offer your smile long-lasting benefits! If you have one or more missing teeth, we invite you to check out our dental implant restorations. Just give our team a call at 303-586-1019 to schedule your complimentary consultation. You can also schedule your visit online. We look forward to helping you create a smile you can show off with confidence!

You can enhance your smile with a tooth replacement service from our team at Denver Restorative Dentistry in Broomfield, Colorado. Not only will tooth replacements make your mouth function better, but they can fill out your jaw making you look younger too. In addition, a missing tooth can cause loose gums around the gaps, which can free up nearby teeth to shift. You can avoid the unnecessary risks that come with tooth loss with one of the following tooth replacement options:

– Dental Implants: Dental implants are tooth replacement devices that surgically attach replacement teeth directly to the jawbone for a permanent hold that can last a lifetime.

– Dentures: Dentures are tooth replacement devices where missing teeth are crafted that can be removed and reinstalled by the owner at will. They are more likely to break or fail than dental implants due to the extra care required when handling them outside of the mouth. Partial dentures can be made for a few missing teeth, and complete dentures can be made to replace entire rows of teeth.

– Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are tooth replacement devices that are designed to fill the gaps left behind by missing or lost teeth. Typically used for only a few missing teeth at a time, prosthetic teeth for bridges, normally made of metal or porcelain, are crafted and held in place permanently by attaching themselves to neighboring teeth or implants.

If you have suffered tooth loss and need a tooth replacement service from Dr. Taylor Goggins or Dr. Roxanna Esguerra at Denver Restorative Dentistry, please call 303-586-1019 in Broomfield, Colorado. We can help determine which service is best for you to help you achieve the smile you deserve!
