A denture is a removable dental appliance that closely resembles natural teeth. It can come in two forms: full dentures and partial dentures.

Full dentures

Full dentures, or complete dentures, are used when most of the teeth are damaged or missing. This is the most common form of dentures that folks associate with senior citizens, but these artificial teeth are actually used by any patients needing a full set of replacement teeth. We can place immediate dentures directly following your extractions, and then adjust them to fit properly as your gums heal. The other option is conventional dentures, which we’ll wait to place until after the gums heal. This final denture option will require fewer adjustments.

Partial dentures

Partial dentures fill in the gaps between healthy teeth. A partial denture fills the space created by missing teeth by latching onto the teeth adjacent to the gap. A good set of partial dentures prevent other teeth from shifting out of place to compensate for the tooth loss.

We design dentures that are durable and will last you for many years. Dentures will:

Dentures are relatively easy to clean and take care of. If you’re interested in reviving your smile with dentures, don’t hesitate to contact Today Dental!

What Does Getting Dentures Involve?

Getting dentures requires a few appointments over the course of a couple of weeks. Our impressions and measurements are highly accurate to create your personalized denture. We will conduct try-on appointments until you absolutely love your result.

Dentures vs Dental Implants

Dentures and dental implants are two different methods of replacing natural teeth. Dentures are a removable set of teeth that fit over the gums, while implants are placed directly in the underlying bone of the jawbone. Both have their benefits and drawbacks when it comes to your dental health.

One benefit of dentures is that they are less expensive than dental implants. They also do not require any surgery, whereas implants require a small surgical procedure to place them in the jawbone. The healing process is something to consider as the healing period is different between the two options. Dentures can also be worn for longer periods of time without needing to be replaced, while dental implants may need to be replaced every few years if they are not properly taken care of.

However, one disadvantage of dentures is that they may cause minor irritation and discomfort to the gums as dentures rest directly on the gums. The surrounding tissues may become irritated as you get used to having to wear dentures. They can also lead to the wearing down of the remaining teeth, as they rely on these teeth to stay in place.

We work hard to give you the proper shape, color, and fit. Not only are dentures an affordable solution for missing teeth, but they’re dependable, too.
