Types of Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019ve lost several teeth or all of them throughout\nan arch, you\u2019re living with many changes in your life. Not only can you\nstruggle to chew your favorite foods, but it\u2019s also easy to feel insecure about\nyour incomplete smile. Your dentist will help you invest in a functional, beautiful\nsmile using an effective solution, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve experienced significant tooth loss but still have\na few healthy teeth remaining, you might be a candidate for a partial.\nProsthetic teeth fill the empty spaces of those you\u2019ve lost, which are attached\nto a gum-colored foundation. The base has a metal framework that allows it to clip\nor clasp onto your teeth to hold it in place. It\u2019s a convenient solution to rehabilitate\nyour smile, but you will need to rely on healthy teeth for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, an entire arch is replaced with a full\ndenture. Although they have a bad reputation for looking and feeling fake,\nseveral improvements make them closely mimic your natural teeth. Advanced\ntechnology is used to create an acrylic base to hold your prosthetic teeth. This\nprovides a comfortable fit as it rests on top of your gum tissue and is held in\nplace using suction or an adhesive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implant-Retained Dentures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an alternative to conventional treatments, many patients\nare choosing to stabilize their dentures with dental implants. An average of 4\nto 8 posts are inserted into the jawbone to act as new roots. This allows you\nto enjoy the next best thing to your real teeth. In fact, you can restore as\nmuch as 70% of your natural biting force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebuild a Complete Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ready to stop the complications of tooth loss, you\nhave more choices than ever to complete your smile. If you need a quick, convenient\nsolution, traditional treatments might be right for you; however, if you want a\nmore permanent replacement, you might be a candidate for dental implants. Your\ndentist will help you determine the best option for your specific needs and\ngoals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
