Dentures and Dental Implant Supported Dentures
Missing teeth can impact your quality of life, making it difficult to chew and speak. Missing teeth can also leave you feeling self-conscious, and that can make smiling more difficult. Dentures may be the solution if you’re missing many or all of your teeth.
Prosthetic teeth can restore your smile and your confidence in your appearance. Prosthetic teeth can also restore your ability to eat and chew. Nothing quite matches the feeling you get from knowing that you have a mouth full of beautiful teeth to show the world
At Mounts Dental Care, we offer our patients various denture services, including traditional and implant-supported dentures. We can help you decide which type of dentures are right for you. When you come in to learn more about dentures, we’ll examine your mouth, the health of your jaw, and remaining teeth, and we’ll make a recommendation.
TRADITIONAL DENTURES
Traditional dentures are a type of prosthetic teeth that are worn to replace some or all of the teeth. They stay in place with the help of suction. Traditional dentures have many benefits, including:
• Natural smile. Traditional dentures look natural and can help restore your smile after losing teeth. Traditional dentures look so natural that no one can tell you’re wearing dentures.
• Make eating easier again. Traditional dentures make eating, chewing, and biting easier after teeth have been lost.
• Support natural speech. While many people have difficulty talking when they’re missing teeth, replacing missing teeth with dentures can make talking easier.
IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURES
Implant-supported dentures are similar to traditional dentures in that they can replace entire rows of teeth with realistic-looking replacements. Implant-supported dentures differ from traditional dentures because they are installed on implants inserted into the jaw. Implant-supported dentures can be permanently installed on implants or they can be removable, depending on which type of implant-supported dentures are installed in your mouth. Your dentist can help you decide which type makes the most sense for you.
