Restore Function. Renew Confidence. Smile Freely Again.
Losing one or more teeth can affect more than just your appearance—it can impact how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. Prosthodontics focuses on replacing missing teeth with natural-looking solutions that restore both function and aesthetics.
At Seaside Smiles, we help guide you through your options for both removable and fixed prosthetics, working in collaboration with local dentists to create a plan that fits your unique needs and lifestyle.
Prosthodontics is the area of dental care that deals with designing and fitting artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, there are effective options to help you regain comfort, function, and confidence.
These are devices you can take in and out of your mouth:
Complete Dentures – Full sets of artificial teeth for those who have lost all teeth in an arch (upper or lower).
Partial Dentures – Replace one or several missing teeth, secured with clasps to surrounding natural teeth.
Flippers (Temporary Partials) – Lightweight, temporary solutions often used while waiting for a permanent restoration.
Removable options are typically more cost-effective and easy to adjust over time.
These are permanently placed and cannot be removed at home:
Dental Bridges – Replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants.
Implant-Supported Restorations – Prosthetics like crowns, bridges, or dentures that are securely attached to dental implants.
Crowns – Tooth-shaped caps placed over a damaged or treated tooth for protection and aesthetics.
Fixed options offer greater stability and feel more like natural teeth.
