Having a functional dentition with all of your teeth doing their jobs properly, whether it is with a denture, a partial denture, or crowns and bridges is important. It allows you to chew proper food, as well as keeping the mechanism of the jaw itself balanced. Proper function is the most important part, and being able to eat real food keeps you healthier than what many people are forced to eat when their teeth are missing or damaged. In addition to dentures, we also offer what is now called an all-on-four, which is an implant-supported prosthesis that is usually ceramic, and we can restore an entire arch of teeth that is supported by dentures anchored to the jaw bone. So you don’t remove it. It functions more or less as normal teeth, and gives you a really solid option, rather than something removable.
Regain Your Oral Function With Our Dentures Options
There’s no reason to be embarrassed about missing teeth. You are one of many adults who struggle with tooth loss. Statistics show that about 36 million Americans do not have any teeth. What we care about is giving you a complete smile again. You’ll find several dentures options at our practice, including ones that pair dentures with implants for an even stronger bite. You can choose:
- Traditional Dentures – These are standard removable dentures that replace an entire arch of teeth.
- Partial Dentures – If you have some healthy teeth, you can complete your smile with removable partial dentures.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – Your dentures will still be removable, but they’ll snap into place on top of dental implants for more secure oral function. Unlike traditional dentures, you won’t need adhesive. The implants will also help prevent you from losing bone mass in your jaw.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – After we secure your dentures to implants, they remain fixed in place and function like natural teeth. You won’t need special cleaning supplies or routines. Just brush and floss like you always have.
- Temporary Dentures – These temporaries ensure you are never without your teeth while we create your permanent teeth.
Our team knows some patients feel anxious about visiting the dentist, which is why we invest in modern dental technology. We’ll take digital X-rays that expose you to less radiation and use digital technology instead of messy trays of goop to create impressions of your teeth. You can also relax with our sedation options, such as laughing gas or oral sedation.
