About Denture Design and Teeth Replacement Services
Complete and partial dentures are not merely pieces of metal and plastic that replace missing teeth. When skilfully designed and constructed they can restore the appearance of the mouth and face, giving you newfound confidence. Teeth replacement can also improve your ability to chew and eat, making social contact normal and pleasurable.Dr. Faigenblum's view is that appearance and function are strongly related and his goal is to recapture on the dentures the position of the original natural teeth.
As a prosthodontist, Dr. Faigenblum has dedicated his professional life to assembling and making use of the clues that allow this to occur. These clues are called biometric guides.
The ability to make use of biometric guides to replace missing teeth requires an examination of the skeletal structure of the face, followed by a survey of the mouth and its related structures.
A preliminary diagnosis is made, aided by the patient's previous denture history. Photographs, when available, can have an important relevance. The objective is to obtain optimal function and appearance.
Dr. Faigenblum's experience in denture design and construction of full and partial dentures allows him to work with all types of denture related conditions.
From the information gained he is able to provide a comprehensive treatment plan that may include several alternative treatments. Where necessary Dr. Faigenblum will work with specialists in other fields such as periodontists (gum specialist), endodontists (root canal specialist) and implantologists to provide the best outcome possible.
Where possible a comprehensive treatment plan with a quotation of costs will be provided before treatment commences.
