Better yet, our comfortable, natural looking dentures will help you to eat the foods you love again, chew that juicy steak, bite that apple or eat out in public again without feeling self-conscious.
Dentures have been available for many years and offer an inexpensive, quick and easy solution to replacing lost teeth. Typically they are made of acrylic (plastic) or a combination of acrylic and metal (cobalt/chrome alloy).
They can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or the full dentition. To help retain the denture, the acrylic usually extends into the palate, which may affect comfort, speech and taste.
What are comfortable, natural looking dentures?
Dentures can be used to restore complete or partially damaged smiles with the use of either complete or partial dentures.
Complete – comfortable, natural looking dentures are used to replace a full set of teeth and are made from impressions of your gums and pictures of your mouth and face. These moulds and images are then sent to a dental lab, where your personal dentures will be created to ensure a comfortable, functional and overall perfect fit. Complete dentures can be made for both your top and bottom jaws and are held in place with the suction created by your gums. Denture fixatives can be used for extra support.
Partial – comfortable, natural looking dentures are used to replace one or several missing teeth and prevent the remaining healthy teeth from moving due to tooth loss. Partial dentures are secured using clasps which are attached to the surrounding teeth to keep them in place.
What are Implant Retained Dentures?
Implant retained dentures are dentures stabilised by dental implants to stop movement, which can otherwise make gums sore and tender. The implants used are either traditional or mini depending on the condition of your jaw and gums – both are able to provide extra denture stabilisation.
What are the benefits of Implant Retained Dentures?
Implant retained dentures offer great benefits to many people who have suffered with loose and painful dentures including:
- You can eat, speak and smile without worrying about your denture becoming loose.
- Sore spots and pressure points will be a thing of the past.
- Implants can help to prevent bone loss which often occurs when missing tooth roots are left unfilled.
- A gorgeous looking and natural feeling smile.
