Dentures for Partial or Complete Tooth Loss
Tooth replacements are as unique as the teeth they replace, offering a range of options like Partial and Full Dentures designed to help patients bounce back from tooth loss of any degree. For example, if you’ve lost all of the teeth on your upper or lower dental ridge, then a complete denture can provide you an entire row of lifelike replacements to rebuild your smile and bite function. If you’ve lost several of your teeth but still retain several healthy ones, then a partial denture can be a more viable option. Partials are custom-designed to replace the teeth you’ve lost and fit comfortably around those that remain. Whether you need a partial or full denture to rebuild your smile, we can customize a prosthesis that closely resembles your healthy, natural teeth for optimal cosmetic and functional results.
How Complete Dentures Rebuild Your Smile
Complete dentures are one option in the spectrum of Partial and Full Dentures that most people recognize. They consist of entire rows of lifelike replacement teeth situated on comfortable, gum-colored plastic bases. The base of your denture is designed to fit snugly and comfortably on your dental ridge, using the natural curvature of the ridge to remain stable. In some cases, a safe dental adhesive may also be used for additional stability. However, for patients who qualify, we may suggest supporting a complete denture on a series of dental implant posts, which are designed to mimic the natural roots of your lost teeth and give your denture enhanced stability.
How Partial Dentures Save Your Smile
When you’ve lost several teeth, your risks of losing more teeth increase, making the consideration of Partial Dentures crucial. So do your risks of developing chronic dental issues, like tooth decay and gum disease, and of experiencing problems with your bite function.
While a complete denture won’t be viable due to the teeth that still remain, a partial denture can be designed to accommodate your unique pattern of tooth loss. Partial dentures also consist of comfortable plastic bases that span your dental ridge, but only contain replacement teeth in the empty spaces of your smile. The prosthesis and your replacement teeth will help support your remaining teeth while also restoring and rebuilding your smile.
Ensuring Long-Term Comfort and Stability
Partial and full dentures are excellent solutions for restoring your smile and regaining confidence. To help you enjoy the best possible results, certain treatments can work alongside your dentures to enhance their fit, function, and longevity. At Dimples Family Dentistry, we offer supportive care tailored to your unique needs:
- Dental Implants: For added stability, dental implants act as secure anchors for your dentures, mimicking the natural roots of teeth. They also help preserve jawbone structure and improve overall comfort and chewing ability.
- Crowns and Bridges: These fixed options can complement partial dentures by filling smaller gaps or supporting existing teeth to maintain bite balance.
- Tooth Extractions: In cases where damaged teeth need to be removed, extractions create a healthy foundation for dentures or other restorative solutions.
- Preventative Dentistry: Regular cleanings and exams help protect your gums and ensure your dentures remain comfortable and effective over time.
- Zoom Teeth Whitening: Enhance the appearance of your smile by brightening your natural teeth to match the look of your dentures seamlessly.
- Bruxism Treatment: Protect your dentures and remaining teeth from grinding or clenching, ensuring their durability and reducing discomfort.
By combining these additional treatments with dentures, we prioritize more than just tooth replacement. Our goal is to help you achieve a smile that is as functional as it is natural, offering comfort and confidence in your daily life. Every smile is unique, and we’re here to provide personalized support to ensure yours stays healthy and vibrant at every step.
Put Your Dental in Good Hands
I've been seeing Dr. Ethan Roos at Dimples Dentistry for over 5 years and have always been happy with the care I've received here. The staff has always been very welcoming, as if you are part of the family. I highly recommend!!
Called Dimples and wish I called them first. Their receptionist was SO kind and SO helpful. Even offered to call to have my records sent to them in hopes to save me some money from doing x rays again. She was nothing but sweet! Got me scheduled within 2 days. Went above and beyond and was kind when I arrived.
Dr. Roos and his staff are incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable, even for those without insurance. We had an excellent experience with a dental emergency exam; they also had availability to fit us in for a routine exam and cleaning after the emergency exam.
