If you have lost teeth, one of the options our dentist may recommend to replace your missing teeth is with dentures. Dentures are designed to give you back a beautiful smile, as well as improve your ability to speak and eat, support your natural facial volume and enhance your overall appearance.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are a type of removable oral appliance used to replace multiple missing teeth. They consist of prosthetic teeth set into a plastic or acrylic base, and are specially designed to fit your mouth comfortably and to restore a naturally aesthetic smile to your face.
Types of Dentures
There are several types of dentures available depending on your individual needs. These types include:
- Complete Dentures – A complete denture replaces all the teeth in a full dental arch. You may receive dentures for one or both of your arches. Our dentist may recommend a denture adhesive to ensure your appliance remains stable.
- Partial Dentures – A partial denture is recommended when you are missing multiple teeth, but some natural teeth still remain. Partials include a thin framework or clasps that attach to the natural teeth, ensuring a secure fit and providing you with greater stability.
- Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures) – Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of implants with the cost-effective nature of traditional removable dentures. This type of denture is anchored in your mouth using dental implants, providing you with greater stability and enhancing your long-term oral health and function. Implant-supported dentures are also sometimes referred to as overdentures or snap-on dentures.
