What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They consist of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base made from acrylic resin, sometimes combined with metal attachments. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever, restoring your ability to eat, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
Types of Dentures
Full Dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They rest on your gums and stay in place through suction and oral anatomy. Ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches.
Partial Dentures fill gaps left by several missing teeth while you still have some natural teeth remaining. They attach to your natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments for added stability.
Immediate Dentures are placed on the same day your remaining teeth are extracted, so you never have to be without teeth. These serve as temporary dentures while your gums heal, then are adjusted or replaced with permanent dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures snap onto dental implants placed in your jawbone, providing superior stability and eliminating slipping or movement. They offer the closest feel to natural teeth while still being removable for cleaning.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures restore your ability to eat a wider variety of foods and speak more clearly. They support facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that occurs with tooth loss, and maintain your face shape for a more youthful appearance. Dentures are affordable compared to other tooth replacement options, can be adjusted or relined as needed, and provide an immediate solution for extensive tooth loss. They’re also removable for easy cleaning and maintenance.
The Denture Process
Getting dentures typically requires several appointments over a few weeks. During your initial consultation, Dr. Areheart examines your mouth, discusses your needs, and develops a treatment plan. If extractions are needed, they’re performed with time allowed for healing.
Next, we take precise impressions and measurements of your jaw and mouth to ensure proper fit. Multiple fittings may be necessary to adjust the shape, color, and fit of your dentures before final fabrication.
Once your custom dentures are ready, Dr. Areheart ensures they fit comfortably and makes any necessary adjustments. You’ll receive detailed instructions on inserting, removing, and caring for your new dentures. Follow-up appointments allow us to make additional adjustments as you adapt to wearing dentures.
