Dentures in Smyrna GA

Dr. Ryo Hosaka, your family dentist in Smyrna, GA can help you chew and smile better.

What Kinds of Partial Dentures in Smyrna, GA Do You Offer?

Partial dentures are able to replace multiple teeth at the same time. They are able to be removed from the mouth for regular cleaning.

A partial denture has acrylic or metal arms that hug the existing teeth to stay in place.

Dr. Ryo Hosaka can help you select from a variety of different shades of teeth. You can choose to match your current remaining teeth, or select a lighter shade, for an instantly brighter smile. He will custom make the denture to fit your mouth exactly.

For upper partial dentures, he pays particular attention to the upper lip, making the denture in such a way to subtly plump out the lip to give a more youthful appearance.

Will My Partial Dentures Look Natural at Hosaka Family Dental?

older women smiling drinking coffee l dentures smyrna ga Dr. Hosaka is familiar with the different materials and designs that can be used for each unique situation. For removable partial dentures, sometimes metal is used in the appliance for strength, but flexible gum-colored material can also be used for the smile zone. The flexible material partial denture can be made without any metal.

Before making a partial denture, we need to make sure the remaining teeth, especially the teeth that will help retain the denture, are strong enough. Dr. Hosaka can help you with a thorough tooth and gum exam to bring your oral health up to an optimal level.

I Need to Have a Front Tooth Removed; Will I Have to Go Without My Tooth?

Dr. Hosaka can prepare an immediate partial denture for you before you have your tooth removed. With an immediate partial denture, we will have the new denture with the replacement tooth or teeth already set in place before your tooth extraction appointment.

As soon as you have your tooth removed, Dr. Hosaka can place the denture for you at the same appointment, giving you a new replacement tooth before you walk out the door.

Call us at Hosaka Family Dental! We would love to help you replace your missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dentures help me chew better?

Yes, dentures can help you chew more effectively and comfortably. When you experience tooth loss, it can make it difficult to chew and bite food, which consequently affects digestion. Without enough teeth to help you grind up food, you can struggle to enjoy meals, experience oral pain, and even choke. With a complete set of teeth, you can once again chew like you did with all your natural teeth––without pain or worry during mealtimes.

First-time denture wearers may notice some mild gum soreness as it takes time for the gum tissue and mouth to get used to them. Chewing may also present a unique challenge in the beginning. Though you will be able to chew, it may take some time to learn how to chew with dentures––it’s a bit of a learning curve, but you’ll get the hang of it in no time!

What's the difference between full and partial dentures?

Your dentist in Smyrna, GA, offers partial dentures to patients who desire comfortable tooth replacements. Depending on your needs, your dentist will determine the best denture option for your smile.

Full vs. Partial Dentures

The two main types of dentures are full and partial.

Full or complete dentures replace all of the teeth in a person’s mouth. A complete denture consists of prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base. People who wear full dentures use denture adhesive to keep the dentures secure and in place. They fully restore one’s ability to bite, chew, speak, laugh, and smile comfortably and effectively.

Partial dentures replace some missing teeth in a person’s mouth, so they’re ideal for those with natural teeth remaining. A partial denture relies on neighboring teeth to stay secure in the mouth, and they restore natural function, appearance, and comfort to one’s smile.

I'm afraid of going to the dentist; how can you help me?

Dr. Hosaka understands that sometimes, dental treatment can be daunting. He has helped many patients who have had bad experiences at the dentist in the past. Most notably, he has helped a big burly gentleman who had avoided going to the dentist for almost 40 years due to a bad dental experience he had when he was in the military! Now he is a regular patient who has had treatments like extractions, deep cleanings, and crowns without trouble.

What Will My First Dental Appointment Be Like at Hosaka Family Dental?

Dr. Hosaka will tailor your dental visit to your needs to make sure that you are comfortable. Typically, he will do a lot of explaining and show-and-tell. He will take a gentle step-by-step approach, explaining and showing you what is going to happen before doing that step of the procedure.

We have a big screen tv set up in each dental treatment room where you can learn details about your oral health and dental treatments that we recommend. During your dental treatment, we can play your favorite music, TV show, or movie to help you relax.

Does Hosaka Family Dental Utilize Nitrous Oxide Gas?

We have nitrous oxide gas (also called laughing gas) available for our patients who would like to be extra relaxed during their dental care. Nitrous gas is an odorless gas that is inhaled through a soft nasal mask. It works quickly to give you a relaxed floaty feeling. After treatment is finished, the gas is turned off, and it leaves your body in a few minutes.

You will feel perfectly normal and are able to drive home.
