Do you think you might benefit from wearing dentures? Your first step should be to call our office. Our team will conduct a careful examination of your mouth and consider any dental issues that might need to be addressed; then we can help you decide whether you should pursue dentures and start putting together your treatment plan.
Types of Dentures
Does an entire arch need to be replaced, or are there still some teeth that can be kept? Is there enough bone density in the jaw for dental implants? These are a couple of the questions that we’ll need to find the answers to in order to figure out which type of denture you should get. When we make a recommendation, we’ll always take the time to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the available options.
Partial Dentures
If there are one or more gaps in your smile, a partial denture can be customized to fit into them seamlessly in order to replace all the teeth that have been lost. You can take a traditional partial denture out of your mouth at any time; when you wear it, it will be attached to your natural teeth using clasps.
Full Dentures
Some cases of tooth loss are more severe than others, to the point where an entire arch is missing. With full dentures, it’s possible to replace one or both rows of teeth all at once. Like partial dentures, traditional full dentures are made to be removable; however, they rely on suction rather than clasps to stay in their proper position.
Implant Dentures
Dental implants are very versatile and can be used to replace any number of teeth. Some of the advantages of attaching dentures to dental implants include giving your newly restored smile more stability and preventing bone loss in your jaw.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures allow you to rebuild your bite, which helps improve speech and makes chewing easier. They can be fully personalized for your unique smile, and they tend to be easy to clean. On average, a denture will normally last around 7 to 10 years before you need to get a new one.
