What are Dentures?

A denture is a prosthetic fabricated to look and act like natural teeth. It typically consists of several prosthetic teeth and prosthetic gums that blend in with your existing teeth and gums. A denture can be full, partial, fixed, or removable and is an excellent option for replacing a group of consecutive missing teeth or missing teeth that are scattered across the upper or lower jaw.

Partial Dentures

As the name implies, a partial dental is intended to replace a few missing teeth, either in a row or in different areas of the upper or lower jaw. Most commonly, a partial denture is made to be removable, but some patients opt for a fixed partial, also known as a bridge.

Full Dentures

A full denture replaces all the teeth of the upper or lower jaw. Full dentures can be removable or fixed into place with dental implants for a more stable and permanent solution.

Not your Grandma’s Dentures

Dental technology has come a long way in recent years, and this is especially true of the technology used in fabricating dentures. With advanced digital and 3D imaging and higher quality materials, today’s dentures fit more comfortably and securely, are made to last longer, and look much more natural than they once did. Now, with the availability of dental implants to securely fix them into place, dentures are even stronger and more functional than ever.
