Dentures Can Restore Your Ability to Speak, Eat, and Smile with Confidence
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are individually crafted prosthetics, available in different sizes. Dr. Dovgan offers three types of dentures.
- A traditional full denture will replace all of your teeth on your top or bottom arch or both. Its plastic base will fit securely around your gums and will match the color of your soft tissues. In most cases, you will need to use a special dental adhesive.
- A traditional partial denture will also be removable, but it may be more appropriate if you still have some strong, healthy teeth remaining. Along with a plastic base, this type of denture will often come with tiny clasps, which will keep it securely attached to nearby teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures are available as both full and partial restorations. This restoration will attach to implant posts, so it will never shift out of position.
At your consultation, Dr. Dovgan can evaluate your teeth, gums, and jawbone to help determine which option is best for you.
Designing And Fitting Your Denture
In addition to restoring your smile, dentures can also fill out your lips and cheeks for a more youthful appearance.
The Benefits Of Dentures
Dentures can dramatically restore your appearance and oral function. With your new smile, you will be able to eat normally and speak more clearly. In addition to restoring your smile, dentures can also fill out your lips and cheeks for a more youthful appearance.
Implant-supported dentures offer further benefits. First, they offer superior stability and will never move around in your mouth. The implants will also generate new bone growth, sending out the same regenerative signals as your natural dental roots. Thus, they can eliminate jawbone recession and even more widespread tooth loss. Finally, because your jaw will remain the same shape, your denture will always have the same secure and comfortable fit.
