Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace multiple missing teeth, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for those who have lost teeth. They are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and securely, ensuring a natural look and feel. If you are considering dentures, our dentist and team are here to help you understand your options and choose the best solution for your needs.
There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.
- Complete dentures are used when all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced. These dentures rest directly on the gums and are custom fitted to ensure maximum comfort and functionality. Our dentist may recommend using a denture adhesive to enhance stability, especially during the initial adjustment period.
- Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used when some natural teeth remain. They typically consist of a metal or plastic framework that attaches to your remaining teeth with clasps. This design helps keep the partial denture securely in place while you eat, speak and go about your daily activities. Partial dentures not only fill in the gaps left by missing teeth but also help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Both types of dentures offer significant benefits. They can improve your ability to chew and speak properly, support facial muscles to maintain your appearance, and boost your confidence by restoring a complete and attractive smile. Moreover, well-fitting dentures can alleviate issues related to missing teeth, such as difficulties with eating and speaking, and can improve overall oral health by preventing further dental complications.
Here at Above & Beyond Dental, we are committed to providing high-quality dentures tailored to your individual needs. We take precise measurements and impressions of your mouth to create dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. We understand that adjusting to dentures can take time, so we offer guidance and support throughout the process to ensure your satisfaction.
