If you’re missing teeth, you’ve probably heard the terms false teeth and denture used interchangeably. At Christina Brinda DDS in North Canton, we understand that navigating your options for tooth replacement can be confusing. As a dentist who specializes in dentures near you, Dr. Christina Brinda wants to clarify that while you may use the term false teeth as a general term, dentures refers to a specific type of dental appliance. In this blog, we will break down what you need to know.
“False Teeth” – The Umbrella Term
Historically, the term false teeth was a way to describe any artificial teeth used to replace natural ones. In a modern dental context, false teeth is more of a casual phrase that can encompass various solutions.
Dentures
Both complete and partial.
Dental Implants
Permanent replacements that are surgically anchored into the jawbone.
Dental Bridges
Fixed restorations that literally “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth, using adjacent natural teeth for support.
So, while all dentures are false teeth not everything that you refer as false teeth are actually dentures.
Dentures: Removable Solutions for Missing Teeth
Dentures are a specific type of removable dental appliance designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth and are an excellent option for restoring your smile and chewing function.
There are two main categories of dentures:
Complete (Full) Dentures
These are used when all teeth in either the upper or lower arch (or both) are missing. They rest directly on your gums.
Partial Dentures
These are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the jaw. They fill the gaps created by missing teeth and typically attach to your existing natural teeth with clasps or other connectors
Why Dentures Are a Popular Choice
Dentures offer several benefits, making them a popular option for many patients at Christina Brinda DDS:
Restored Appearance
They bring back your natural smile and support your facial structure.
Improved Function
You can eat and speak more easily.
Affordability
Generally, dentures are a more cost-effective option compared to implants or bridges, especially upfront.
Non-Invasive
Getting dentures usually does not involve surgery, unlike dental implants

General Dentist Brinda is the best dentist I ever been to . If you’ve been holding off going to the dentist, whether for just cleaning or getting wisdom teeth out , go here . The staff is so welcoming and friendly and Dr. Brinda is so knowledgeable and walked me through every procedure from start to finish and all the expectations. She is a perfectionist that wants you to look your best and goes out of her way to do just that . I went in for a whitening treatment and cleaning and it was the best experience that I had at a dental practice! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to feel comfortable,well cared for and informed, while receiving best treatment for their smile.

Dr. Brinda is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to! My wife and I live in Michigan and we make the drive every year to go see her because she’s that good! Whether it’s going in for cleaning/whitening or taking care of a cavity, I always have a great experience going here. I’ve never really enjoyed going to the doctor for anything, but I can honestly say I enjoy coming here for my yearly checkups. Dr. Brinda is very knowledgeable and extremely professional, and she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome and cared for. Highly highly recommend!

Dr. Brinda and her amazing office team are lovely; down to earth and outstandingly competent. Their main focus, I have no doubt from all of my visits, is their patient’s oral health. This team is professional and efficient, but also what we all want in a medical team of any sort, very knowledgeable. I truly appreciate all of the care and concern this office has offered me. This is truly a top notch team and one you can thoroughly entrust with your dental health. Thank you to you all.

I personally was shadowing Dr. Brinda's office for my Dental Hygienist Program, and it was an amazing experience! Dr.Brinda and her wonderful team are constantly working to make sure things are sterilized, wiped down, and organized for your visit! There was nobody sitting around, but everyone was helping other people out! Staff at Dr. Brinda's office was respectful, sweet and supportive! Dr. Brinda personally took time with patients, and treated them like a person, not just a patient. She asked recurring patients about an update on their personal lives from the patients last visit, and it was amazing to see the patients smile when she remembered. Overall, from someone who saw behind the scenes of this office, I would gladly come there to visit just to see the amazing work they do. I highly recommend Dr. Brinda's Office!

I normally don’t make recommendations or write testimonials for services rendered. I expect and demand the highest patient care for my hard earned buck, period. I have been a patient for several years. Her team of professionals are exceeding my expectations regarding knowledge, kindness, skills, patient care, and my well being. Beginning from the initial phone call to schedule an appointment, through all of the facets of dental care provided, and processing the insurance payment, each employee earns a five star on my every visit.

The most friendly staff I have ever seen in a dentist office! Dr Brinda was super knowledgeable about some underlying health conditions and my pregnancy and was super through and cautious! Say bye bye to any anxiety from dentistry work at this office it’s feels welcoming and homey and very clean.
