If you have missing teeth, you may be struggling with your face or mouth sagging, or running into dental issues like sensitive gums and even bone deterioration. Getting dentures to replace missing teeth is a great way to look younger and treat your oral health concerns.
Dr. Tosh will listen to all of your concerns about dentures. Let’s work together to determine if dentures are right for you. We’ll develop a custom solution to restore your smile and your confidence.
Dentures Improve Your Quality of Life
If you have several missing teeth, badly damaged or decayed teeth, or if all your teeth are missing in the upper or lower parts of your mouth, then dentures may be ideal for you.
Dentures can improve your ability to chew your food and speak more clearly. Missing teeth can cause the facial muscles to become weak due to a lack of jaw support, but dentures can help strengthen your facial muscles.
Customized Dentures
Our dentures are completely customized to your needs and smile. We prioritize your comfort so you can enjoy a fantastic denture experience. Customized dentures are more comfortable because they will fit cleanly into your mouth, which prevents rubbing or loose dentures—don’t worry about embarrassing moments where your dentures fall out into your oatmeal. We can also prevent wear and tear on your natural teeth by customizing your dentures for your bite.
Customized dentures also look more aesthetically pleasing. They will match your natural teeth and support your face. You can look more youthful and fun with our dentures!
Our Different Denture Offerings
There are several kinds of dentures. The different types of dentures and partials allow for a custom solution just right for your situation. These also range in cost, so you can easily find an aesthetic smile that fits your budget!
Full Dentures
Full dentures act as an entire arch of teeth. You might need a full denture if all your upper or lower teeth are missing or damaged beyond repair. This is also the best denture for issues like face sagging. They restore your entire smile aesthetically.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures cover a small section of missing or damaged teeth. They can support your face slightly. These are often used if you have lost just a few teeth in a concentrated area. They are less costly than full dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant dentures are a permanent kind of denture, and they attach to implant posts that are surgically inserted into the jaw. These dentures are best if you do not have jaw bone deterioration, and they can prevent deterioration in the future. Implant-supported dentures can fix either a section or an entire arch of teeth.
Implants vs. Dentures
Implants and dentures are both used to replace missing teeth, however, there are some key differences. Dentures can be:
- Used even if you have jaw bone deterioration
- A less expensive solution than implants
- A nonpermanent solution
- Less invasive than having implants placed
- Supportive of your facial features
As you can see, dentures treat a plethora of issues, and they can be used in a variety of circumstances. Implants are more helpful if you are looking for something permanent. They are also better for treating one or two teeth instead of an entire bridge. If you are looking for a permanent solution for an entire bridge of teeth, we recommend implant-supported dentures.
