There are multiple different types of dentures available to meet different needs. During your consultation, we will discuss which of the following options is ideal for you.
Partial dentures are made up of multiple replacement teeth and a gum-colored base. This type of denture fits between the existing teeth like a puzzle piece to fill any gaps. To remain in place, partial dentures are attached to the natural teeth with the help of either clips or brackets.
Full dentures are made to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, with on the top or bottom. They replace in place with help from the natural shape and suction of your mouth. If you need additional support, denture adhesive is also available to provide stability. Traditional full dentures are removable, so you can take them out to clean them while you sleep.
Implant dentures are supported by dental implants. The implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. They help your replacement teeth to stay in place, eliminating your need for adhesives or clasps. Dental implants also help to stimulate the jawbone, preventing the progression of bone resorption caused by tooth loss. The additional stability provided by implants allows patients to regain up to 70% or more of their natural chewing ability. Implant dentures are also made to last numerous decades, so you don’t have to worry about frequent repairs or replacements.
Here are some of the numerous benefits that you can experience when you get dentures to replace your missing teeth.
