General wear and tear on your teeth can lead to missing teeth and gum tissue. Dentures are a more traditional avenue to restore your smile. Having gaps in your teeth can erode your confidence and make you feel self-conscious. We always want our patients to feel happy to show off their smile which is why we offer high-quality dentures as part of our suite of restorative dental services.
Modern dental technology has vastly improved the fit, feel, and function of dentures meaning they are more natural-looking than ever before. Dentures are supported by your gum tissue and jaw or can be anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. The implants function like roots of natural teeth, providing a secure and stable foundation.
Full dentures supported by dental implants are a great option if you have had all of your natural teeth removed, while partial dentures are a functional alternative if you have only lost some of your teeth. Dr. Kaplan will recommend the best solution for your individual needs and lifestyle.
Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame and are secured to existing teeth in order to fill in empty spaces.
Removable dentures are fixed to the gums with adhesives which means you can have a much better chewing ability than without dentures.
Dentures are frequently used in combination with dental implants which are called implant-retained dentures.
Implant-retained dentures are a great way to restore your confidence as they have a more natural look and can be placed over dental implants. The beauty of implant-retained dentures is they look, function, and give you the same sensation as your natural teeth. There is also the benefit of no movement because they are anchored to dental implants. Dentures can also be used as a temporary option if you wish to have further work done on your mouth.
All types of dentures need proper care and you will also need to continue to maintain your oral hygiene even if all of your natural teeth have been removed. Your dentist can advise you on the best cleaning methods to keep your dentures feeling and looking fresh.
All of our dental treatments at Skyline Dental Designs are dedicated to helping you restore and improve your natural teeth, but when teeth do need to be replaced, dentures are often the best choice.
