Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures offer more versatility than you might think. They can restore multiple missing teeth, whether they're scattered throughout an arch or a whole row. When you come in for your first consultation, we will carefully examine your mouth and discuss all available options with you. Together, we'll figure out the best solution to match your lifestyle and requirements. It's important to replace missing teeth promptly to prevent future oral health complications like gum disease and decay.
Types of Dentures
Depending on your specific tooth loss situation, our team may recommend one of these denture types to restore your smile's function and appearance. During your initial consultation, we'll thoroughly go over the pros and cons of each option and provide you with a cost estimate.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are made with a gum-colored acrylic base, typically supported by metal. This base is custom designed to fit snugly around your natural teeth, securing the replacement teeth in position to fill gaps across your arch. These partials are removable, which makes them simple to clean and maintain.
Full Dentures
Traditional full dentures are designed to restore a complete set of teeth by adhering to the jawbone and gums through suction. They come with a realistic gum-colored acrylic base and porcelain or ceramic prosthetic teeth. These prosthetic teeth can significantly enhance your biting strength and overall quality of life.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures combine the natural appearance of traditional dentures with advanced technology. By surgically implanting small titanium posts beneath the gumline to replace the missing tooth roots, we can securely anchor restorations in your mouth. These restorations are stable and both function and resemble natural teeth.
