Are partial dentures in Ballwin right for you?

When you think of dentures, you probably think of a full plate, replacing all of the teeth in an arch. However, dentures can also be a great option if you are missing just a few teeth. A partial denture is a removable appliance with false teeth attached to a gum-colored base and usually a metal frame.

One of the goals of modern dentistry is the preservation of natural teeth. We have much better techniques now, and patients are increasingly aware of oral health and hygiene. Although the rate of edentulism (loss of some or all teeth) today is lower than ever, and still decreasing, this remains a common problem. Thankfully, modern technology and advanced dentistry have also brought a much better solution.

What is gum contouring?

When we think of a smile, we naturally think of teeth. Decay, discoloration, misalignment, and gaps can easily take the dazzle out of your smile. However, the pink frame those pearly whites are set against is important too. If your teeth are bright, healthy, and straight but you aren't happy with your smile, you may be a good candidate for gum contouring, also known as tissue sculpting or cosmetic laser dentistry. Ballwin and St. Louis area residents trust The DentaLink for stunning smile enhancement.

Veneers

Veneers are very thin shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to change the color, repair cracked or chipped teeth, close gaps, and even cover old dental work without replacing the restoration. In essence, veneers repair worn dentition instantly. By improving the appearance of misalignment, veneers can be a convenient and cost-effective alternative to orthodontic treatment such as wearing braces for months or years.

The benefits of adult orthodontics

Many adults shudder at the thought of wearing braces. Just the word brings to mind images of awkward teens with �tin grins.� That image encompasses two unfortunately common myths. The truth is orthodontic devices aren't just for kids, and they don't have to be metal! You can straighten your teeth discreetly, with invisible braces in St. Louis or Ballwin. The DentaLink offers two, equally beautiful, options. Invisalign and the Red White and Blue systems aren't technically braces.
