If a patient is missing multiple teeth or needs to have teeth removed, dentures can be a good option. You know, that used to be the only way to replace teeth when you had to have your teeth removed. But these days we can use dentures to do the same thing. In some cases, implants might not be an option or financially you’re just not able to do at that time. A denture can restore your teeth and give you a great smile, give you that function you need, and remove the teeth that are really becoming a problem. If you’ve been wearing dentures or you have loose-fitting dentures and you’ve been dealing with that for a while, a great option are implant-supported dentures. You can have a snap-in smile, we call it, where you have some implants placed to help the denture actually snap in and really feel like real teeth, or you can have some screw-in type of dentures made. They actually screw into dental implants that you don’t remove and they really truly are more like a real tooth replacement. There’s some great ways you can restore missing teeth with implants and dentures.
Our Dentures Choices Will Complete Your Smile
Replacing missing teeth isn’t simply a cosmetic concern or even just about oral function or oral health. Your overall health can be greatly affected by missing teeth. Because you cannot properly chew with missing teeth, you may be avoiding nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables. You may have problems digesting food as well. Your new teeth will give you the ability to eat more kinds of food.
Because every patient is unique, we provide several choices for dentures:
- Traditional Dentures – If you would like a whole new set of pearly whites, we can have a set of full traditional dentures custom-made for you. This will ensure your new teeth fit precisely and look natural.
- Partial Dentures – If you need to replace only a few teeth, we can provide partial dentures held in place by your surrounding teeth.
- Implant-Secured Dentures – If you have had issues with removable dentures coming loose and want a secure hold, we can also provide dental implant dentures. You’ll never need adhesive again! Following an initial consultation, we can even give you a same-day smile with immediate load-bearing, implant-retained dentures. You can eat and show off your new smile right away.
Once your dentures have been custom-made, we will discuss the best cleaning methods, so your new teeth will stay beautiful for years to come. Regardless of the choice you make, your new teeth will look great and restore your oral function.
