What Are Dentures and Partials?
Dentures are removable prosthetics custom-designed to replace missing teeth and their surrounding tissues, restoring the function and aesthetics of your smile. At Springs Dental Care, we offer complete denture options to replace all your teeth in either the upper or lower jaw and partial dentures to fill gaps in your smile when some natural teeth remain.
Here’s a look at your complete denture options:
Immediate Dentures: These interim dentures are typically created in advance and placed immediately after extracting any failing teeth to ensure you don’t go without teeth for a single day. As your jaw heals and changes shape, your dentures will require frequent adjustments to continue providing an ideal fit. Depending on your unique needs, we may be able to reline these temporary dentures for long-term use.
Conventional Dentures: These high-quality restorations are made after the gums fully heal, typically about six months after extracting any remaining teeth. Conventional dentures are created from digital impressions of your mouth, providing the best possible fit and function.
Here’s a look at your partial denture options:
Traditional Metal Frame Partials: Traditional partials are strong and durable, providing a long-term solution to restore your smile. They consist of replacement teeth attached to metal frameworks that anchor onto your natural teeth using metal clasps or more aesthetic precision attachments. Your new partial dentures will prevent the remaining teeth from shifting toward the gap, safeguarding your smile.
Valplast Flexible Partials: Valplast flexible partials are made from a lightweight, metal-free material that adapts to the shape of your mouth. They provide enhanced aesthetics and comfort, making them a preferred denture option for many of our patients.
If you are looking for a more permanent solution to missing teeth, you may want to consider implant-supported dentures. These gold-standard restorations rely on as few as two implants to hold an entire arch of replacement teeth in place. Implant-supported dentures draw on the benefits of traditional dentures and implant dentistry, delivering exceptional stability, comfort, function, and aesthetics. Your new restorations will look, feel, and function like natural teeth, restoring your smile and enhancing your quality of life.
Which Denture Option Is Right for You?
Choosing the right type of denture or partial will depend on the health of your remaining teeth, your jawbone structure, and your personal preferences. Our team at Springs Dental Care will recommend the ideal tooth replacement option based on your unique needs.
