Removable Teeth

Living with damaged, broken, diseased teeth can be tough. It takes a toll on your entire body and can cause systemic problems, which can have serious repercussions and, in some cases, even endanger your life. Removing badly diseased teeth can help improve your health and get rid of infection. Dentures is a prosthesis used to replace all the missing teeth. With this appliance, your chewing ability will be improved, which in turn allow you to maintain proper nutrition and health. Dentures are custom made to your individual anatomy and your specific aesthetic needs. Once dentures are fabricated, getting used to wearing them can take some time, often several adjustment appointments are required to achieve the most comfortable fit. Upper dentures rely on suction from the roof of the mouth and most of the time are very successful. Lower dentures can be a bit more challenging to wear, adhesive can often be used to help the denture stay in better. Placing four to six implants into your jawbone will help significantly improve retention of the denture and will allow for more forceful chewing. If you are considering dentures, come on in for personalized consultation.

If you have missing teeth and are looking to improve your appearance and function, a removable partial denture may be a great option. Partials utilize rests and clasp to brace on to existing teeth. The base or framework can be made of either metal, acrylic, or Flexilyte material, and missing teeth are replaced with plastic teeth, which are embedded within the framework. Talk to your doctor to determine what kind of partial denture is the best suited for your needs.
