Why Should You Replace Missing Teeth?

- Bite misalignment
- Chewing difficulties
- Difficulty speaking
- Shifting or loose teeth
- Increased risk of gum disease
- Encourages additional tooth loss
Missing teeth in Charlottesville can also impair your self-esteem and confidence. Research has shown that people with healthy, whole, beautiful smiles are thought to be more attractive and successful. If you think missing teeth is negatively impacting your professional opportunities and your social connections, dentures are affordable, natural-looking option for teeth replacements.
What Causes Tooth Loss?
There are many reasons why patients experience tooth loss, including trauma due to an accident or fall, or an extraction needed for severely decayed or infected teeth. However, gum disease is the number one reason for tooth loss in America for adults. Fortunately, our Charlottesville dentist can use his experience and skills to create dentures that replace several or even all of your teeth!
Full Dentures
For patients who have complete tooth loss, our restorative dental professionals customize upper and lower dental arches to fit your mouth comfortably. Having a set of full dentures will give you back the ability to eat whatever you want, to speak without slurring, and to smile without embarrassment. Dr. Lippard and his team will work closely with you to create a natural-looking set of dentures that you can confidently wear—showing off that gorgeous grin!
Partial Dentures
If you have one missing tooth, Dr. Lippard may recommend either a dental implant or a crown and bridge. These two options are terrific tooth replacements and may benefit you the most in restoring your smile and your dental health. However, if you have several teeth missing, in a row or in several places, then partial dentures may be the better solution.
At our Charlottesville dental practice, we can work with you to create removable partial dentures that fit well and look great. Partial dentures are budget-friendly options for giving you the functionality you need and the smile you deserve. Also, they can be removed so you can clean your mouth and your dental prostheses.
How Much Do Dentures Cost?

- The materials used

- Preparatory procedures needed
We’ll walk you through these details during your consultation and outline a price for the process. Our team is more than happy to help you navigate any dental insurance or financing questions you have as well.
