Types of Dentures
At our office, we offer partial, full, and implant dentures. If you want to learn more about each type, including which one we recommend for you, contact our dental office today to schedule your consultation. You can also read on for a brief overview of each.
Partial Dentures
Do you still have a few of your natural teeth left? If so, we can fill the gaps in your smile with a partial denture. They are held in place with a discreet metal clasp, which ensures that they won’t slip or shift unexpectedly. Since the base is gum-colored and each replacement tooth is customized to suit your face shape, dental needs, and smile goals, you can have peace of mind knowing that it looks natural as well.
Full Dentures
Full dentures, on the other hand, are designed to replace all of the teeth along your upper gums, lower gums, or both. They’re held in place by suction and denture adhesive. They are also removable, which makes them easy to clean. Just take them out of your mouth, brush them with a regular toothbrush, and soak them overnight in a glass of water. You can add a denture cleansing tablet to the glass for additional cleaning.
Implant Dentures
If you want added security, your dentures can be held in place by dental implants. You won’t have to worry about embarrassing problems like your restoration shifting while you eat. They also snap into place and can still be removed for cleaning or sleeping. With all of that said, having a dental implant placed isn’t a possibility for every patient, so if you’re interested in the added support they provide, ask Dr. Weiss and Dr. Carley if implant-retained dentures are a possibility for you.
The Benefits of Dentures
Many people don’t realize that dentures and partial dentures can be customized! That’s largely because, in the past, dentures were made to be one-size-fits-all, which left a lot of room for improvement. With today’s materials and technology, your tooth replacement will be customized. They’re constructed from more durable materials as well! Plastic resins provide a more pleasing appearance, and they have the ability to fit snugly in your mouth. Dr. Weiss and Dr. Carley take into account form and function when working with you to design your prosthetic.
