What Are Full & Partial Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue, restoring the function and appearance of your smile.
- Full Dentures: Designed for patients missing all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches, full dentures rest directly on the gums and are carefully crafted for a secure and natural fit.
- Partial Dentures: For patients missing some teeth, partial dentures use a metal or plastic framework to anchor securely to your remaining teeth, seamlessly filling the gaps in your smile.
Benefits of Dentures
Full and partial dentures offer a range of advantages, including:
- Restored Functionality: Enjoy improved chewing and speaking ability.
- Enhanced Appearance: Dentures fill out facial contours, preventing the sunken look often caused by tooth loss.
- Custom Fit: Each denture is tailored to your mouth for optimal comfort and aesthetics.
- Removability: Dentures are easy to clean and maintain.
- Affordable Solution: Dentures are a cost-effective option for tooth replacement.
Are Dentures Right for You?
Dentures are an excellent solution for patients who:
- Are missing multiple or all of their teeth.
- Want a removable, non-invasive tooth replacement option.
- Are not candidates for dental implants or prefer a more affordable solution.
During your consultation, our experienced team will assess your oral health and discuss your goals to determine the best tooth replacement option for your needs.
The Denture Process
1. Consultation and Planning
We’ll begin with a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including digital imaging, to create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Digital scans and Fabrication
We’ll take detailed digital scans of your mouth to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and look natural. Your custom dentures will then be crafted by a dental lab using high-quality materials.
3. Fitting and Adjustments
Once your dentures are ready, we’ll ensure they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments to optimize comfort and functionality.
4. Ongoing Care
We’ll provide guidance on caring for your dentures and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure they continue to fit and function well.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you’re looking for added stability, we also offer implant-supported dentures, which are anchored to dental implants for a secure and long-lasting fit. This option eliminates concerns about slipping or shifting, providing a more comfortable and natural feel.
