Astoria, NY Dentures Quiz
- True or False: Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth.
- True or False: Tooth loss won’t affect your oral health.
- True or False: We offer complete dentures to replace all teeth on one or both arches.
- True or False: Your prosthesis will look lifelike.
Answer Key
- True. If you have multiple missing teeth but don’t yet need a full set of dentures, then partials may be the best choice for restoring your smile. Designed to replace multiple lost teeth spread across an arch, partials consist of replacement teeth with metal clasps on each end. We attach the clasps to the remaining natural teeth to anchor the prosthesis into place.
- False. In fact, tooth loss can lead to a wide range of oral health problems, including misalignment, loss of jawbone density, and difficulty eating or speaking. In order to maintain both your oral and overall health, you must have a full set of working teeth.
- True. If you are missing most or all of your teeth, then a full prosthesis may help you. We create a set of natural looking replacement teeth attached to an acrylic base. The base is designed to mimic the appearance of gum tissue.
- True. To ensure your prosthesis looks natural, we first take impressions of your mouth. This enables the fabrication of a prosthesis that fits comfortably and blends with your facial features. We want you to feel comfortable with your new prosthesis and to enjoy new teeth that look as natural as possible.
