Full and Partial Dentures

For patients who want a removable tooth replacement option, dentures are a great choice. Top Choice Dental in Hopkinsville, KY offers full and partial dentures to our patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. Dentures will restore one’s ability to speak normally and allow one to enjoy eating again.


When teeth are missing they can cause complications with biting, chewing, and speaking. Differences in bites and chewing can also begin to alter the structure of the jaw. When all of the teeth are missing, or a significant amount is missing in one section of the mouth, this too can alter the structure of the jaw and lead to an altered facial structure. Often, this makes the facial muscles sag, making someone appear older than they are.


Here at Top Choice Dental, we offer full and partial dentures. Partial dentures work similarly to a dental bridge, using other teeth to stabilize the denture. However, unlike dental bridges, dentures are removable. Full dentures are a brand new set of teeth. Dentures can be made for the upper jaw and the lower jaw. They are made to look natural and be the best fit for your mouth. Full dentures can be placed conventionally, or immediately for our patients’ convenience.


If you are missing all or some of your teeth, dentures may be what allow you to smile again. To schedule a consultation with Top Choice Dental of Hopkinsville, KY, call us at (270) 886-8585 or visit our website, www.hoptowndental.com

Dental Bonding to Repair Smiles

Repairing cracks, gaps, chips, or discolored teeth is easy and affordable with dental bonding. Many dental improvements can be made here at Top Choice Dental in Hopkinsville, KY utilizing dental bonding. It is the often one-appointment procedure that restores the health of teeth and the aesthetic look of smiles.


Dental bonding is the process of using a composite resin to repair fractured teeth, close gaps, fix chips, and whiten a smile, among other improvements. The composite resin is matched to the color of your tooth so that it appears natural. The resin can also be chosen a few shades whiter for whitening purposes.


Your dentist will smooth the resin over the imperfection and shape it to a natural tooth shape. For whitening, the resin is smoothed over the entire tooth. The resin will be hardened using an ultraviolet light. The resin will then be polished so that it shines like a normal tooth.


Taking care of dental bonding is like taking care of your teeth normally. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once per day, plus regular visits to your dentist will keep the bonding in good shape. Bonding can last for over ten years with good care. That means a long-lasting white smile!


An improvement to your smile does not have to be a major procedure. To learn more about dental bonding, do not hesitate to contact Top Choice Dental. To schedule an appointment with us in our Hopkinsville, KY dental practice, call us at (270) 886-8585 or visit our website, www.hoptowndental.com
