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.
Restore Your Confidence in Your Teeth
No one wants to go through everyday life without teeth. Missing teeth make daily life harder. You may be too embarrassed to smile, and you may have to choose from a limited group of foods. Those days will be over for you when you get custom dentures with our restorative care. Based on your needs, you can come to us for the right teeth replacements:
- Full Dentures – This is what typically comes to mind when people think of dentures. These replace an entire arch of missing teeth on the top or bottom jaw. You remove them daily for cleaning.
- Partial Dentures – Partial dentures fill gaps between healthy teeth you still have. They are held in place by clips that connect to the remaining teeth. You also remove these dentures daily to be cleaned.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – To secure these teeth replacements, your dentures are connected to dental implants using a snap-and-ball system. You can remove these for cleaning.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – These news teeth are secured by implants that are connected to a bar, which is attached to your dentures. This provides added comfort since it transfers more biting and chewing forces to your jawbone. These teeth stay fixed in place, though your dentist can remove them for maintenance if needed. You just brush and floss to keep them clean. There’s no need for special products or soaking.
- Temporary Dentures – A set of temporary dentures maintains your smile while you wait for your more permanent teeth.
