Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth customized to fit your mouth. They consist of lifelike prosthetic teeth set in a gum-colored base, designed to resemble natural teeth and restore oral function. Depending on your needs, dentures can replace an entire arch of teeth (full dentures) or just a section of teeth (partial dentures). For those seeking enhanced stability, we also offer implant-retained overdentures and all-on-4 dental implants, which provide a secure, natural-feeling alternative.
Types of Dentures
Full Dentures
- Replace an entire arch of teeth (upper or lower).
- If existing teeth are beyond repair, they are removed to prevent infection.
- Impressions are taken before tooth extraction to provide immediate dentures after surgery.
- Once healing is complete, precise impressions are made for a perfectly fitting denture.
- Should be removed nightly for cleaning and to rest your gums.
Partial Dentures
- Fill large gaps caused by multiple missing teeth.
- Use remaining healthy teeth as anchors with metal clasps for support.
- Preserve the alignment of remaining teeth and restore functionality.
- Should be removed nightly for cleaning and to maintain gum health.
Implant-Retained Overdentures
- Attached to surgically placed dental implants in the jawbone, offering superior stability.
- Prevent bone loss by maintaining jaw integrity and supporting natural facial structure.
- Enhance chewing ability and overall functionality.
- Provide the most secure and natural-feeling option.
- Require surgical placement and may have a higher initial cost but offer long-term benefits.
Choosing the Right Denture for You
When selecting the ideal denture, we consider the following factors:
- The number of missing teeth.
- Your jawbone health.
- Your budget and lifestyle.
- Your desired level of comfort and aesthetics.
Our team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs and preferences, ensuring you leave with a smile you love.
Why Consider Dental Implants?
Missing teeth can lead to bone deterioration, as the body stops supplying nutrients to the jawbone in those areas. This can alter the shape of your jaw and affect your appearance. Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial roots. These implants can support prosthetic teeth or hybrid dentures, such as all-on-4, preventing bone loss and maintaining your jaw’s integrity. They provide a long-term solution to tooth loss and restore both functionality and confidence.
