Dentures
Bringing back a youthful smile
Let's face it. Sometimes teeth and the surrounding tissue become so damaged from age, poor hygiene, or trauma that there is no way to fix them.
That doesn't mean that a healthy mouth is out of reach. By extracting sick teeth and fitting for dentures, we can quickly restore health to the mouth and improve appearance. A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
Implant Procedures
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill in missing teeth when some natural teeth remain and complete dentures replace all teeth. Partial and complete dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth, so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, partials and dentures may even improve your smile!
Complete Dentures
This restoration method is used to restore smile and mouth function if all teeth have been lost. The complete dentures are custom created and natural looking. They function in place of your original teeth. Complete dentures are removable and may require adjustments in order to create a proper fit with the gums and mouth.
FAQs
How can I get my denture to fit better?
We can selectively place implants into a jaw with no remaining teeth and use the posts to act as retaining clips for a denture. After doing so, the bulkier parts of the denture can be trimmed away leaving the patient far more comfortable when eating, chewing and speaking. It has literally changed the lives of a number of our patients.
Why dentures and not implants?
- Surrounding bone is not thick or dense enough to support implants.
- Medically compromised patients in which placement of implants is not possible.
- Patients that lack the coordination to maintain proper oral hygiene.
What are implants?
