What are Complete Dentures?

If you have experienced the loss of several teeth in your mouth or are in need of a full-arch replacement, you might want to contemplate obtaining a comprehensive denture. The loss of multiple teeth can be a result of oral trauma, extensive tooth decay, or periodontal disease. This can have an impact on your ability to perform oral functions such as biting, chewing, and speaking normally. However, we have the capability to restore these functions through the use of complete dentures.

The full denture features a broad, gum-colored acrylic base that depends solely on the gums and underlying jawbone for stability. This base holds a complete set of acrylic or porcelain teeth designed to mimic the appearance of your natural teeth.

Complete dentures offer the possibility to replace either the entire upper or lower arch, or even both. These dentures are conveniently removable, allowing you to take them off whenever needed.

Dentures for Partial Tooth Loss

Partial dentures offer a cost-efficient and dependable option for individuals who are missing one or multiple teeth. The structure of a partial denture closely resembles that of a full denture, featuring an acrylic base and a collection of artificial teeth to replace the gaps left by missing teeth.

Nevertheless, a partial denture depends on the assistance of neighboring healthy teeth, as opposed to a complete denture. The acrylic base typically includes metal clasps or hooks that attach to the neighboring teeth for stability. As a result, a partial denture offers superior retention compared to a complete denture.

Our dentists create custom dentures that not only improve your ability to eat comfortably but also enhance the aesthetics of your smile. These dentures serve as a replacement for your natural teeth, providing you with a more enjoyable eating experience.

The Process of Treatment

Acquiring a fresh denture at our facility is a straightforward and comfortable procedure that typically requires two to three dental appointments. During the initial visit, we will address your worries, assess the state of your current teeth, and evaluate the well-being of your gums and jawbone in order to create a personalized denture tailored to your requirements.

If you are in need of a complete denture for full-arch replacement, we will proceed by extracting the remaining teeth in your cavity. After allowing sufficient time for healing, we will then take impressions of both your upper and lower arch, making sure to accurately capture your natural bite.

The dental lab receives these impressions and proceeds to create a personalized denture that perfectly fits your needs. While most dentures consist of an acrylic base, our technicians have the option to incorporate a metal framework for enhanced durability and stability.

Once the denture is prepared, we will proceed to evaluate its suitability within your oral cavity. During the concluding stages, we will make slight modifications as necessary and refine the surface to achieve a sleek and glossy appearance.
