Do You Always Need Full Arch Dentures on Both Arches of Teeth
Posted on 2/20/2019 by Dr. Frank Sallustio
What is a full arch denture? It's an intra-oral device designed to replace all of the missing teeth in either your top or lower arch.
If you're missing all of the teeth either on the top or the bottom, a dental arch, or denture, can be designed to fit over your gums and replace the missing teeth.
All or Some If you're missing only the top arch of your teeth, don't worry, we're not going to perform a complete lower extraction just to give you a full set of dentures! After our staff examines your teeth and prepares your mouth for dentures, we can talk about your options.
For example, if you're missing all of your top teeth, but still have the majority of your bottom teeth, we can fit you for an upper arch. This will allow you to continue to enjoy a normal diet, while keeping your bottom teeth out of danger from becoming too loose or falling out.
You see, if you're missing the top teeth, the bottom ones have nothing to hit against. This can cause shifting of the teeth and even additional tooth loss.
Full arch dentures are removable and we work hard to make sure that they appear natural by matching them to your existing teeth. If you're missing both arches of teeth (no teeth, upper or lower) then you will need both arches replaced.
