For many patients, dentures offer an effective way to restore both function and aesthetics, allowing them to enjoy life without limitations. Here’s what you need to know.
What Are Dentures?
As a removable tooth replacement option, dentures help restore smiles by mimicking natural teeth and gums. There are several denture options available to suit different needs, preferences, and budgets.
Full Conventional Dentures
Full dentures are a customized solution for replacing all teeth in either the top or bottom arch. They are custom-designed to replicate the appearance of natural teeth and gums, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for complete tooth loss. Full dentures are one of the most affordable tooth replacement options. However, jawbone resorption occurs over time after tooth loss, so they may require occasional adjustments to maintain a secure fit.
Overdentures
Overdentures offer increased stability by being supported either by remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Unlike conventional dentures, which rest directly on the gums, overdentures attach to these supports, reducing movement and enhancing comfort. Dental implants that secure overdentures also help maintain bone volume and facial structure. While overdentures involve a higher initial investment, they provide a more secure and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth, filling gaps while preventing shifting. They restore both function and appearance, ensuring a stable and natural-looking smile. Removable partial dentures consist of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base, secured by internal clasps that attach to natural teeth or crowns for support.
Fixed partial dentures, or dental bridges, are cemented onto adjacent teeth or implants, providing a more stable and permanent solution. Both options restore function and aesthetics while blending seamlessly with the patient’s natural teeth.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures do more than restore your smile—they improve your quality of life. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Restored ability to chew and enjoy a full diet.
- Improved speech and pronunciation.
- Enhanced facial structure by preventing sagging.
- Increased confidence and self-esteem.
- Affordable and long-lasting compared to other tooth replacement options.
Do You Need Dentures?
Tooth loss can impact more than just your appearance—it can affect your ability to eat, speak, and maintain good oral health. If you are experiencing any of the following issues, dentures may be the right solution for you:
- Multiple missing teeth that make it difficult to chew or speak clearly.
- Limited ability to eat tough or chewy foods due to weakened bite.
- Speech problems caused by gaps in your teeth affecting pronunciation.
- Frequent tooth pain or decay that may require extractions.
- Loose or shifting teeth that can lead to further misalignment and oral health issues.
At Densley Dental, we understand that missing teeth can affect your daily life and confidence. Our team will evaluate your dental health and help determine the best tooth replacement solution to restore your smile and function.
What Is the Process for Getting Dentures?
The process of receiving custom dentures at Densley Dental takes place over multiple appointments to ensure the best fit, function, and appearance.
It begins with a consultation where Dr. Sidhu or Dr. Densley will discuss your lifestyle, oral health needs, and denture options. We take the time to explain the choices available, helping you select the solution that best suits your situation.
Once you’ve chosen your dentures, we follow a precise process to create a natural, comfortable fit:
- Impressions and measurements of your jaws are taken to ensure proper alignment and function.
- Models of your dentures are created for you to try, allowing for adjustments before the final set is made.
- Your custom dentures are crafted, and once ready, they are carefully fitted. Any necessary refinements are made to ensure maximum comfort and function.
This careful approach guarantees a secure, natural-looking result that restores your smile and confidence.
