Types of Dentures Available
Several types of dentures are available for patients today, each providing a natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Our dental team can determine what type of denture treatment will help you achieve the goals you have for your smile. Some of the common denture treatments we offer at Smile n Shine include the following:
- Complete Dentures – Full or complete dentures consist of an acrylic plate that sits on the surface of your gums. A set of acrylic teeth is attached to the plate, which sits in the same position in your mouth as your original teeth were to provide the most natural-looking results.
- Partial Dentures – If you’re only missing a few teeth, partial dentures may be the perfect solution. A metal or plastic plate that has attached false teeth is used.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – This type of denture solution replaces several teeth at once by being fixed in place. They allow patients to have a stronger, more comfortable bite and restore their chewing ability. Patients are also less likely to suffer from pressure points or sore spots with implant-supported dentures. Many traditional denture wearers eventually switch to implant-supported dentures because they’re more comfortable and secure.
