If you have many severely damaged or missing teeth, our dentist might recommend a complete denture to replace those teeth. This appliance is designed to replace an entire arch of teeth and will help you achieve a natural-looking smile, restoring your ability to speak and eat with confidence.
Some of the benefits of dentures include:
- Cost-efficiency in replacing a full arch of teeth
- Functional and beautiful results
- Reduced treatment time compared to other tooth-replacement procedures
Dentures are a removable appliance made of an acrylic mold and prosthetic teeth, customized to fit your mouth perfectly. We have many types of dentures available. Our dentist and team will determine which option will be most beneficial for you.
- Conventional Dentures — This type of denture requires the removal of all teeth as well as time to allow them to heal before creating the denture. This is highly effective, but it does leave you toothless during the healing process.
- Immediate Dentures — This type of denture also requires the removal of all teeth, but we place the dentures immediately following the extraction. This prevents the period without teeth, but our dentist and team may need to make adjustments as your mouth heals.
- Overdentures — This appliance uses your natural teeth or implants to stabilize your denture. There are different types of overdentures. Some snap on and some are fully supported by implants.
