Looking for a quality, affordable way to replace missing teeth? Floss City Dental offers dentures and partials that look natural and fit comfortably.
Types of dentures
Dentures are removable appliances custom-made to replace missing teeth, with artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base that sits over your gums. If you’re missing all of your teeth, you’ll need complete dentures. If some healthy teeth remain, partial dentures fill the gaps.
- Conventional complete dentures are made after any remaining teeth are removed and the gums have healed. Healing takes several months and the shape of your mouth changes during that time, so waiting gives you the best fit and comfort.
- Immediate complete dentures are made in advance and placed right after your teeth are removed, so you’re never without teeth. They usually need adjustments and relining once your gums heal.
- Partial dentures replace missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. The replacement teeth sit on a framework that clasps onto your natural teeth to stay in place.
Why choose dentures?
Dentures support your face and cheeks, restoring a fuller, more youthful look. They help you speak clearly and enjoy your favorite foods again. If you still have some teeth, a partial protects them from wear and keeps them from shifting. Dentures are also typically the most affordable way to replace missing teeth.
Caring for your dentures
Well-fitted dentures don’t need adhesive to stay in place, though you can use it for extra security. Never try to repair dentures yourself, as that can damage them. We’ll handle any repairs or adjustments to keep your dentures looking and feeling their best, and give you care instructions to keep them in great shape.
Implant-supported dentures
Bone loss or the shape of your mouth can make it hard to get a good fit with traditional dentures. Implant-supported dentures provide stability for a secure fit long-term. Implants are placed in the jawbone first. Once they’ve healed, the denture attaches to them with small snap-on fittings.
Implant-supported dentures are a more stable alternative to traditional dentures. Ask about them at your next visit. Some patients need a bone graft first.
