Why Consider Dentures?
As mentioned previously, dentures area good solution if you have missing teeth, or if your natural teeth are damaged, worn, or otherwise compromised in some way. Dentures function in much the same way natural teeth would and create a seamless smile. Dentures assist in chewing and speaking and also help uphold your facial structure so you can comfortably go about your everyday life.
With today’s technology, we can fashion dentures that closely resemble your natural teeth. We can replace your entire set of teeth with complete dentures or seamlessly fill in gaps with partial dentures. What type of dentures you’ll require will be based on a number of different factors and we’ll explore all the options with you before deciding on a particular course of action.
Types of Dentures
There are two types of dentures for oral restoration: complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are what many people think of when they hear the word, “denture.”Complete dentures are full, removable devices that replace natural teeth and function in their place. These are most often used when a person is without teeth or when teeth are removed to accommodate the device.
Partial dentures are the other option for teeth replacement and these are frequently recommended when there are still some healthy, functioning teeth left in your jaw. A partial denture is a series of artificial teeth that replaces sections missing in the mouth. A person can have more than one partial denture if needed.
