Types of Dentures
A denture should be as unique as the person receiving it. We’ll help you determine which type is ideally suited for your situation based on a conversation about your goals as well as a thorough exam of your teeth, mouth, and bite.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are a proven solution to replace one to several missing teeth, improve chewing ability, and restore your confidence. A partial will also help keep your natural teeth from shifting, lowering the risk of losing them in the future.
Partial dentures were mostly made with a metal framework in the past that the majority of patients did not feel were comfortable and often quit wearing. Fortunately, we have a kinder all-acrylic partial denture that is much lighter in weight and has a little flexibility, so it feels much more comfortable and looks great, too!
Full Dentures
Full dentures can be a good option for people who have lost all, or nearly all, of their teeth.
These are made of a thin gum-colored acrylic base that rests on the gum tissue. Today, full dentures can look very natural because they are made from porcelain or acrylic. Dr. Ellison will help you customize your dentures to look as lifelike and as ‘you’ as possible because she wants to create the smile you have always dreamed of!
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures allow patients to regain 90% of their chewing strength compared to traditional dentures, which retain only about 20%. What this means in practical terms is that patients with dental implants are able to eat a more varied diet compared to those with traditional prosthetics.
The most important health benefit of implant-supported dentures is the stimulation they provide to the jawbone. Dental implants halt bone atrophy or loss, helping your jaw to maintain its shape and strength.
And lastly, implant dentures are more comfortable than traditional dentures. Because implants rather than the gums provide their main support, implant-denture hybrids are often more secure and stable than regular prosthetics while being gentler on the soft tissues.
How Can Dentures Improve My Life?
