The main benefit of restoring your smile with a partial or full denture is clear – you have a complete smile to share once again. Some of the other benefits of restoring your smile with dentures following advanced tooth loss include:
Dentures are necessary when a person has lost numerous consecutive or nonconsecutive teeth or an entire row of teeth. We offer a variety of denture tooth replacement options, including all of the following:
Partial dentures are frequently referred to as partials. These restorations fill in gaps in your smile left by the loss of any number of missing teeth both consecutive and nonconsecutive. A denture base is crafted to fit between remaining teeth. The base supports all of the necessary replacement teeth to fill the gaps in your smile. The partial is held in place by clasps that attach to remaining healthy teeth.
Full dentures are crafted with a gum-colored base material supporting a full row of teeth. Because there aren’t remaining teeth to offer support, your denture base is molded to fit snuggly against the gum line. This close fit creates suction between the soft tissue and denture. When properly fitted, this suction should hold the denture in place. However, some people do prefer to use a small amount of denture adhesive to improve stability.
For those looking for a little added stability and longevity, a dental implant-retained partial or full denture may be the ideal solution. Using just two to four implant posts, a partial denture can be permanently attached in order to more closely mimic the smile’s natural function. Full dentures can usually be anchored to between four and six dental implants. Once in pace, your implant supported partial or full denture will last decades and allow you to consume all of your favorite foods.
The cost of your denture will depend on a number of variables, and we will review all of your treatment options and the costs associated with them during a tooth replacement consultation. Some of the factors that can impact the costs of your dentures include:
