Dentures

Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures are a time-tested solution for replacing missing teeth. These removable oral appliances are custom-made to fit comfortably and restore the appearance and functionality of your natural teeth. Traditional dentures consist of artificial teeth attached to an acrylic or metal base that closely resembles gum tissue. They are held in place by suction or denture adhesive.

Benefits of Traditional Dentures:

1. Aesthetic Improvement: Dentures are designed to resemble natural teeth, providing a natural-looking smile and enhancing your facial appearance.
2. Restored Chewing and Speaking Abilities: Dentures allow you to chew food and speak more confidently, improving your overall quality of life.
3. Affordable Option: Traditional dentures are often more cost-effective than other tooth replacement options.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a metal or acrylic framework, which clasps onto your existing teeth for stability. Partial dentures are ideal when you have some missing teeth but still retain some healthy natural teeth. They are customized to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Benefits of Partial Dentures:

1. Natural-Looking Appearance: Partial dentures are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a cohesive and natural-looking smile.
2. Improved Chewing Efficiency: By replacing missing teeth, partial dentures enable you to chew food more effectively, enhancing your ability to enjoy a wide range of foods.
3. Prevents Teeth Shifting: Partial dentures help maintain the alignment of your remaining natural teeth by preventing them from shifting into empty spaces.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer an excellent alternative for patients seeking a more secure and stable solution. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants, which are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone. These implants provide a strong foundation for the denture, offering superior stability and eliminating concerns of denture slippage.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures:

1. Enhanced Stability: Implant-supported dentures are securely attached to dental implants, ensuring they stay in place while speaking, chewing, or laughing.
2. Improved Comfort: The stability provided by dental implants reduces irritation and sore spots commonly associated with traditional dentures.
3. Preserved Jawbone Health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure over time.
4. Increased Bite Force: With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and bite with increased force, similar to natural teeth.
