Dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth designed to replace multiple missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures provide a reliable solution to help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

There are three main types of dentures:

• Complete dentures – Replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw and rest directly on the gums.

• Partial dentures – Fill in gaps left by several missing teeth and are secured using clasps that attach to natural teeth.

• Implant-supported dentures – Held in place by dental implants, providing superior stability and preventing bone loss.

Regardless of the type, modern dentures are designed to look and feel more natural than ever, improving both appearance and functionality.

Benefits of dentures

Dentures offer more than just an aesthetic enhancement—they restore essential oral functions and improve overall quality of life. Benefits include:

• Restored chewing ability – Enjoy a varied diet without the discomfort of missing teeth.

• Improved facial structure – Support the lips and cheeks to prevent a sunken appearance.

• Enhanced confidence – A complete smile helps you feel comfortable in social and professional settings.

• Clearer speech – Eliminate slurring or difficulty pronouncing certain words caused by missing teeth.

• Affordable tooth replacement – Dentures are often more cost-effective than other restorative options.

With proper care, dentures can provide years of comfort, function, and aesthetic appeal.

Denture materials

Dentures are crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability, functionality, and a natural look. Common materials include:

• Acrylic resin – Lightweight, affordable, and easy to adjust, making it a popular choice.

• Porcelain – Highly durable and stain-resistant, offering a natural tooth-like appearance.

• Metal frameworks – Used in some partial dentures to enhance strength and longevity.

• Zirconia – Often used for implant-supported dentures, providing excellent durability and aesthetics.

Advancements in dental technology have made modern dentures stronger, more comfortable, and more lifelike than ever before.

Implant-supported dentures

Traditional dentures rely on suction or clasps for support, which can sometimes cause discomfort or shifting. Implant-supported dentures provide a more stable, long-term solution by anchoring to dental implants placed in the jawbone.

Types of implant-supported dentures:

• Snap-in dentures – Removable dentures that attach securely to implants for enhanced stability.

• Fixed implant dentures – Permanently attached to implants, providing a natural feel and eliminating the need for adhesives.

Implant-supported dentures not only improve chewing efficiency and comfort but also help preserve jawbone density by preventing bone loss.

Caring for your dentures

To extend the life of your dentures and maintain optimal oral health:

• Clean them daily – Use a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner.

• Soak overnight – Store them in water or a denture solution when not in use to maintain their shape.

• Handle with care – Avoid dropping them, as they can break or crack.

• Schedule regular checkups – Visit our office for adjustments, relines, or repairs to ensure a proper fit.

Proper care will keep your dentures looking great and functioning well for years to come.
