Where Willoughby Hills area patients can obtain quality dentures

Dr. Michael Stern has dedicated his Willoughby Hills area practice to helping patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles they can be proud of. This means providing services that greatly enhance the aesthetics of the smile while keeping function at its best. When patients are missing one or more of their teeth, they may be at risk for a number of issues. These may include shifting teeth, bone loss, and reduced efficiency in speaking and eating. Patients who are missing teeth should speak with a dentist who can provide restorative options. Restoring the smile after tooth loss as soon as possible can greatly reduce the likelihood of the above issues. At Smile Brighter Willoughby Hills, we encourage our patients to learn about the benefits of dentures. Dentures have gotten a bad rap in the past as false teeth that do not look natural. Dentures bring to mind grandparents who had fake teeth and were never able to keep their dentures firmly in place. Situations such as these often turn patients off to the idea of having dentures. Thankfully, the quality and function of dentures have continued to improve over the years and Dr. Michael Stern is proud to offer patients an affordable yet beautiful way to restore their smiles. Dentures come in two types – full and partial. Patients missing all of the teeth within the dental arch, or those who plan to have them all extracted, require full dentures. Partial dentures are appropriate for patients who are missing one or more teeth within the dental arch, whether it is the upper arch or the lower arch. Unlike full dentures, which are made of all acrylic, partial dentures have a metal framework which allows them to snap into the dental arch and help disburse chewing and biting forces across the remaining teeth. Men and women located near Willoughby Hills are welcome to book an appointment with Dr. Michael Stern. We encourage patients to take the time to learn about the different types of quality dentures available at our practice and discover how they can dramatically enhance appearance and dental health.
