Finding the Best Denture Solution for Your Smile
At Allen Dental Lounge, we recognize the importance of dentures in providing a dependable solution for missing teeth. Our goal is to restore your smile and enhance your quality of life by offering personalized denture options tailored to your unique needs. Through a thorough consultation, we will evaluate your individual situation and work with you to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
Types of Dentures:
- Temporary Dentures: Used as a temporary solution until more permanent replacements like dental implants or bridges are ready. Helpful after tooth extractions or accidental tooth loss.
- Partial Dentures: For individuals missing multiple teeth, held in place by a metal framework attached to remaining natural teeth.
- Complete Dentures: Designed for individuals who have lost all of their natural teeth.
Partial Dentures vs. Bridges
A dental bridge, also known as a "fixed partial denture," is a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures that rely on a gum-colored base for support, bridges are attached directly to surrounding teeth. Typically, they are anchored to natural teeth on either side of the gap, although other anchoring methods may be used.
Partial dentures and bridges each have their own pros and cons. Removable dentures are usually more cost-effective, while bridges offer a more natural appearance and require less specialized care.
The Denture Creation Process
Creating dentures is a detailed process that starts with taking precise impressions of your mouth at Allen Dental Lounge. These impressions are used to craft custom-made dentures in a dental laboratory. Multiple impressions are taken to accurately capture your jaw's movements for a comfortable fit. Our goal is to provide you with natural-looking dentures that fit perfectly. Any necessary adjustments can be discussed during your consultation.
Benefits and Considerations
- Benefits: Dentures offer a cost-effective solution for replacing multiple teeth, improving appearance, speech, and chewing ability. They are a valuable option for individuals who are not suitable candidates for other treatments.
- Considerations: Dentures require careful care and maintenance, and may not feel as natural as natural teeth, potentially requiring adjustments over time.
Alternative Options
We provide implant-supported dentures for patients looking for a long-lasting and lifelike solution. This method involves placing dental implants in the jawbone to create a secure base for the dentures, improving stability, comfort, and functionality.
