Replacement Teeth
Dentures & Partials
If you're missing teeth, you probably don't enjoy eating, speaking, or smiling as you once did. Dentures and partials are a popular solution, because they promote proper chewing, articulate speech, and a full facial appearance. Dr. Varney and Dr. Leipzig are general dentists with 60 years of combined experience designing custom dentures and partials for our Leesburg-area patients.
Full or complete dentures consist of artificial teeth on a gum-colored base. We use dentures to replace all of the upper or lower teeth. If you still have some healthy teeth, our doctors may recommend partial dentures. Partial dentures are replacement teeth on a gum-colored base that are secured to healthy teeth with hidden clasps. Both dentures and partials are removable.
Modern dentures are designed for comfort, function, and appearance. Dr. Varney or Dr. Leipzig will take impressions of your mouth that identify every ridge and crevice. Then, a denture lab will custom design your dentures to ensure a perfect fit. Modern plastics and porcelains result in replacement teeth that look and function as natural teeth would.
For optimal comfort and stability, Dr. Varney or Dr. Leipzig may recommend implant-supported dentures or partials. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that serve as anchors for replacement teeth. Because dental implants prevent the bone loss that results from missing teeth, they’re widely accepted as the best tooth replacement option.
