Find the Denture That is right for you

1. Complete or Full Dentures

Complete dentures are a common dental treatment option for individuals who have lost all of their natural teeth. They can replace natural teeth and provide support for cheeks and lips.

Most dentures are made of acrylic. Fabricating a set typically takes a few appointments. Please understand that over the course of time, dentures will wear and may be need to be replaced or relined to maintain comfort and jaw alignment. Regular dental examinations are still important for maintenance or oral tissue and other potential changes.

2. Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are removable dental appliances that are used to replace missing teeth when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. They can be made of a variety of materials, including acrylic, metal, or a combination of both. A partial denture consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored base, which is connected by metal clasps to the remaining natural teeth.

Partial dentures are recommended for patients who are missing one or more teeth but have some remaining natural teeth. They can help to improve speech, chewing ability, and the overall appearance of the smile. Partial dentures also prevent the remaining natural teeth from shifting out of place and provide support for the facial muscles, which can prevent the sagging of the facial features.

3. Overdentures

Overdentures are a type of denture that can be used as a full or partial replacement for missing teeth. They are designed to fit over the roots of your own teeth or dental implants, providing greater stability and retention compared to conventional dentures that rest on the gums alone. Overdentures can be an excellent option for patients who have lost some or all of their teeth and wish to avoid the discomfort and inconvenience associated with traditional dentures.

They are also a great option for patients who have enough healthy teeth remaining to support a denture, but may not have enough teeth to support a fixed bridge. By using your own teeth or dental implants as anchors, overdentures can provide a more natural feel and improved function when compared to traditional dentures.

Additionally, they can help prevent further bone loss in the jaw, which can occur when teeth are missing and left untreated. Overall, overdentures can provide a comfortable, functional and esthetically pleasing solution to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
