Dentures
Missing multiple teeth doesn’t have to mean living with an incomplete smile forever! Modern dentistry can help.
Missing teeth can cause a lot of anxiety and embarrassment, but modern dentistry can help. Dentures are an ideal option for patients missing multiple teeth in the same area. Whether you need complete dentures, partial dentures, or implanted retained dentures, there is a solution that can help you restore your smile.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are full sets of upper and lower prosthetic teeth that replace all of the natural teeth in your mouth. Complete dentures are typically made from acrylic resin and come with a gum-colored base that rests on your gums to hold the prosthetic teeth in place. Complete dentures also feature metal clasps that grip onto adjacent natural teeth for added stability.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are like complete dentures except they only replace some of the missing teeth in your mouth, not all of them. Partial denture wearers will still have some natural teeth present. The partial dentures will fill in the gaps between them. Much like complete dental bridges, partial bridges are held in place using metal clasps attached to adjacent natural teeth for extra stability.
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures offer more stability than traditional partial or complete removable denture options as they use dental implants to provide secure anchorage for their prosthetic replacement teeth.
Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots and are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath where missing teeth used to be located. Once the implant has healed properly, it is then connected directly to a custom-made bridge containing prosthetic replacement teeth, or a full set of prosthetic replacement teeth via abutments.
