What Are Dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth that replace missing teeth on one or both dental arches. Dentures are designed to be a natural-looking solution that restores function to your bite. There are several types of dentures, and Dr. Kelly will share his insight and help you determine which best fits your dental needs.

Implant-Supported and Traditional Dentures

Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures use suction and, when needed, denture adhesive to stay in place.

Implant-Supported Denture
Implant-supported dentures use titanium posts in your jaw to secure them in place. Both implant-supported and traditional can be full or partial depending on your needs.

Implant-Supported Dentures A Life-Changing Solution to Missing Teeth

Implants, which replace missing tooth roots, are the most complete way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants not only hold a denture securely, but like a natural tooth root, encourage rejuvenating bone growth to keep your jaw strong. Implant-supported dentures do not require messy adhesives to remain in place. Instead, they rely on the titanium posts inserted into the jawbone. This secure footing allows you to eat, drink, and speak without worrying that your denture will slip.

How Dental Implants Enhance Dentures

Dental implants allow the dentures to be anchored to the jaw instead of simply resting on the gums like traditional dentures.

Full vs Partial Dentures

If you are missing just some of your teeth, a partial denture can be used to fill the gaps in your bite and restore your smile. Just like full dentures, partial dentures can be designed to be removable or be fixed in place with dental implants.

If you are missing all of your natural teeth, full dentures may be right for you. Like partial dentures, they are crafted to look just like natural teeth and restore function to your bite.
