The Partial Denture.

Dentistry has always had amazing, high quality, low cost alternatives to high cost dental treatments such as implants, root canals, crowns, and bridges. A removable partial denture can replace many missing teeth for a very low cost and have very high patient satisfaction. A removable partial denture (RPD) is a denture for a partially edentulous patient who desires to have replacement teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons and who cannot have a bridge (a fixed partial denture) for any number of reasons, such as a lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge or financial reasons.

You need to get these teeth straightened up?  If you are developing these type of defects from grinding and clenching a nightguard is recommended.  Drop by and we can discuss.
