Dentures | Natural Tooth Replacement
Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth designed to be removable, offering a practical solution for those who have lost their teeth.
Full Denture
Full dentures are provided to patients when all of their natural teeth have been extracted. These dentures are custom-fitted to the individual's mouth for optimal comfort and functionality. They rest directly on the gums and can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance. Like natural teeth, full dentures require diligent care, which involves using a gentle cleanser to brush them. It's also important to keep them moist when not in use, usually by soaking them in a denture solution or water.
Partial Denture
Partial dentures come into play when one or more natural teeth remain in the jaw. These can be crafted from a metal and acrylic composition or entirely from acrylic. Dr. Park at Blue Bell Family Dentistry will carefully design your partial denture to ensure that chewing forces are evenly distributed over the entire surface area of the remaining teeth and surrounding soft tissues. To achieve optimal balance and function, some modifications to your remaining teeth may be suggested to help equalize these forces.
Implant Supported Denture
Implant supported dentures are removable dentures that are anchored to dental implants embedded in the jawbone. This innovative approach provides a much more secure fit, significantly improving the satisfaction of denture wearers. The implants offer greater stability, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the dentures. This results in increased confidence during everyday activities such as eating and speaking, ensuring a comfortable and worry-free experience.
