What Are DentURES?
Custom-Made Dentures: Precision-Fit Removable Appliances for a Natural-Looking Smile
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth with a single prosthesis. They are custom-made to fit your mouth, using digital scanning for an impeccable fit. Dentures can be a viable option whether you are missing all of your teeth (full dentures) or only a few of them (partial dentures). They are carefully designed to closely resemble your natural and enhance overall aesthetics.
Types of Dentures
Full Dentures
Full dentures, also known as complete or "plate" dentures, are recommended when all teeth are missing in one or both arches. Or if you're planning to have your remaining teeth removed due to advanced decay or periodontal disease.
These dentures consist of a flesh-colored acrylic base that supports a full set of artificial teeth. They are held in place by suction against your gum tissues, optional adhesive, or in some cases, dental implants.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are recommended when you still have healthy, natural teeth in some areas of your smile. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a metal or acrylic framework that wraps around your remaining teeth. Partial dentures prevent the need for additional extractions and help you preserve your remaining teeth.
Snap-in Dentures
Implant-supported "snap-in" overdentures are a special type of full denture that clips onto dental implants for added support. This design offers extra security and comfort throughout the day but is still removable for easy home care.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures restore your ability to eat and speak, improve your smile and facial appearance, boost confidence, and offer a cost-effective solution for missing teeth. Available as full or partial options, they are custom-designed for a natural look and comfortable fit.
1
Enhanced Functionality
Dentures restore your ability to chew and eat, enabling you to enjoy a wide range of foods and communicate more clearly. They help distribute the biting force evenly, allowing you to ensure a balanced diet.
2
Improved Aesthetics
Dentures can enhance your appearance by filling in the spaces or sunken-in areas caused by missing teeth. They are carefully crafted to match the shape, color, and alignment of your natural teeth.
3
Boosted Confidence
Missing teeth can cause self-consciousness and affect both your self-esteem and social life. Dentures can boost your confidence by giving you a complete, attractive smile that you can proudly show off.
4
Facial Support
Teeth play a vital role in supporting the facial muscles. When teeth are missing, the facial structure can appear sunken or aged. Dentures help fill out your cheeks and lips, reducing premature aging in your face.
