Dentures

Losing your teeth at any age, whether you are young or old, is embarrassing and detrimental to your oral health. When some people think of dentures, they envision their grandparents’ dentures that were often ill-fitting and became loose when eating and speaking. But the dentures created today are stronger, more stable, and more natural-looking than ever before. Thanks to modern dental technology and improvements in cosmetic dentistry, the option of wearing dentures no longer carries the stigma it did years ago.

Modern dentures are customized to your specific bite. Because today’s dentists no longer use a one-size-fits-all technique, they will better fit your mouth and reduce the anxiety caused by loose dentures. Also, dentures were once held in place by messy adhesives that came in gels and strips. This often prevented patients from enjoying their favorite foods and drinks. Today’s state-of-the-art dentures stay in place by suction alone, allowing you to live a normal life of eating whatever you want without concern.

Dental Implants to Secure Dentures

If you want extra security, dental implants may be used to better hold your dentures in place. Dental implants are tiny titanium screws that are implanted into your bone to provide a solid base for attaching dentures. This allows you to snap on and snap off your dentures when you want; they will never become loose on their own.

Partial Dentures

If you are missing a few teeth scattered throughout your mouth, you could be a candidate for a partial denture. Partial dentures are used to bridge the gap between missing teeth, acting as a spacer to keep your remaining teeth from shifting. Both full and partial dentures also act as support for facial muscles, preventing sagging of the facial tissue common in patients with few or no teeth.

Today’s dental technicians have a wealth of knowledge that combines both the best dentistry practice as well as high skill levels to craft the best fitting dentures. These professionals truly excel in casting, molding and fitting dentures that offer a seamless and comfortable fit. Modern dentures are made of modern plastics and ceramic materials that look more lifelike, feel more comfortable and are better fitting than ever before. No one will even be able to tell that you are wearing dentures!
