Dentures

This restoration method is used to restore smile and mouth function if all teeth have been lost. Complete dentures are custom created and natural looking. They are fit in the patient’s mouth to take the place of the original teeth. Complete dentures are generally removable and may require adjustments in order to create a proper fit with the gums and mouth.

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dentures offer a versatile solution. But with so many options available, choosing the right type can feel overwhelming. Worry not, fellow smile seeker! This guide will navigate you through the different types of dentures, helping you find the perfect match for your needs and lifestyle.

These trusty companions replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. They rest on the gums and stay in place through suction or dental implants. Think of them as giving your smile a complete makeover!

Partial Dentures
Missing just a few teeth? Partial dentures are your allies. They fill in the gaps, often clasping onto remaining teeth for support. They're like puzzle pieces, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Implant-Supported Dentures
Seeking superior stability and comfort? Implant-supported dentures are your champions. They attach to dental implants, essentially becoming an extension of your jawbone. Think of them as the gold standard for denture security.

Choosing the Right Type
With so many options, the best type of denture depends on your unique needs and preferences. Consult your dentist to discuss factors like:

• Number of missing teeth
• Jawbone health
