Bridgework & Dentures
Missing teeth can impair your speech, limit your diet, and destroy your confidence. As a family and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ghazanfari uses modern dental prosthetics, like crown and bridgework or full and partial dentures that look natural and lasts for years.
A dental bridge involves one or more prosthetic teeth in a row anchored to two crowned abutment teeth. Dr. Ghazanfari can place and restore implants, as well, so many Valley Fair patients prefer implant-supported bridgework. With implant supports, a bridge is anchored to an implant, not to crowned abutment teeth.
To replace many missing teeth, Dr. Ghazanfari may suggest a full or partial denture. Also called dentures and partials, these prosthetic appliances consist of replacement teeth affixed to a gum-colored base. Patients use adhesive or clasps to hold the prosthetic in place. Like bridgework, dentures can be anchored to dental implants to alleviate the need for clasps and adhesives.
If your smile is missing that something special, like teeth, call to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ghazanfari today. Valley Fair Family and Cosmetic Dentistry serves patients in San Jose, Santa Clara, Cupertino, and surrounding areas with comprehensive, functionally esthetic dentistry.
