Why Are Dentures Important?

Dentures aren't just about aesthetics; they are crucial in maintaining oral health and overall well-being. Here's how:

 

  • Improved Chewing Ability: Missing teeth make it difficult to chew food properly, leading to digestive problems and malnutrition. Dentures restore chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of nutritious foods.
     

  • Clearer Speech: Missing teeth can slur your speech and make it difficult to enunciate words clearly. Dentures improve your ability to speak confidently and clearly.
     

  • Facial Structure Support: Teeth play a vital role in supporting facial structure. Missing teeth can cause facial sagging and wrinkles. Dentures help maintain proper facial structure for a more youthful appearance.
     

  • Enhanced Confidence: A missing smile can affect your self-esteem and confidence. Dentures can restore a natural-looking smile, boosting your confidence and overall well-being.

Types of Dentures at 860 Dental

At 860 Dental, we offer a variety of denture solutions to meet your individual needs and preferences. Here's a breakdown of the most common types:

Full Dentures

A complete set of artificial teeth that replace all teeth in either your upper or lower jaw, or both. They are removable and held in place by suction or denture adhesive.

 

  • Benefits: Restores full chewing and speaking functionality, provides facial support, and enhances confidence.
     

  • Considerations: It requires adjustment during the initial fitting period. It may take some time to get used to speaking and eating.
     

  • Suitability: Ideal for patients with complete tooth loss in one or both jaws.

Partial Dentures

A few missing teeth can be replaced within the same jaw using a metal framework with clasps that attach to the remaining natural teeth.

​

  • Benefits: They are more affordable than full dentures, preserve healthy natural teeth, and offer a comfortable solution for replacing a few missing teeth.
     

  • Considerations: Clasps might be visible during close-up conversations. It may require adjustments as surrounding teeth shift.
     

  • Suitability: Ideal for patients with some remaining healthy teeth and missing teeth in non-consecutive areas.

Implant-Supported Dentures

These are dentures secured by dental implants for enhanced stability and function. They can be full or partial dentures.

 

  • Benefits: The most stable and comfortable denture option prevents bone loss in the jaw and closely mimics the function of natural teeth.
     

  • Considerations: Requires surgical placement of dental implants, which adds to the overall cost.
     

  • Suitability: Ideal for patients with complete or partial tooth loss who desire the most secure and natural-looking denture solution.
