Restore Confidence in Your Smile
Dentures are a versatile solution for replacing missing teeth. They help restore your smile and fill gaps, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Depending on your needs, dentures can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth or all of your teeth.
If an accident or poor oral health has caused you to lose teeth, a full or partial denture could be the ideal way to restore the function and appearance of your smile.
In doing so, dentures can help to restore your ability to chew naturally, speak clearly and smile with renewed confidence.
Different Dentures for Different Smiles
The type of dentures your dentist recommends will depend on the number of teeth being replaced, as well as your overall oral health, lifestyle, and budget.
-
Full Dentures
Your dentist will use full dentures, commonly referred to as false teeth or complete dentures, if you are missing a whole jaw of teeth.
You can have them fitted for your upper or lower gums, and they are held in place by suction and/or with the help of an oral adhesive.
Full dentures can be removed for cleaning and sleeping.
-
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures look and feel like natural teeth and can be more comfortable and stable than regular dentures due to their secure fit. They are designed to be long-lasting and allow you to maintain your ability to bite and chew.
-
Partial Dentures
Your dentist will use partial dentures if you are missing more than a few teeth or if your surrounding teeth are not strong enough to support a dental bridge.
Partial dentures are made up of one or more artificial teeth held in place by clasps that fit onto your natural teeth or a tooth replacement like a dental crown.
They can be removed for cleaning and sleeping.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer a practical solution for individuals who have lost their natural teeth, improving both function and appearance. They allow users to speak and eat more comfortably, providing a stable bite for chewing and enhancing the clarity of speech. With dentures, people can enjoy a wider variety of foods, something that may have been difficult or impossible with missing teeth.
Additionally, dentures help fill out the appearance of the cheeks and lips and contribute to a more confident smile, which can boost self-esteem and social interactions.
