Types of Dentures
Four common types of dentures include:
Full Dentures
Full dentures consist of a gum-colored base that rests on the gums and supports a full set of prosthetic teeth. This type of denture can completely replace an upper and/or lower missing arch of teeth. Dentures are removable, you can take them in and out of your mouth after meals and when sleeping.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are dental prosthetics designed to replace a small section of your teeth and gums. Partial dentures are removable, you can take them in and out of your mouth for cleaning after meals and when sleeping at night.
Implant-Supported Dentures
As the name implies, implant-supported dentures rely on surgically inserted dental implants to remain in place. These types of dentures can offer greater stability, functionality, and comfort than traditional options.
Overdentures
Overdentures use existing teeth and implants to remain fixed in place. Like implant-supported dentures, they are more stable than full or partial dentures.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures can effectively replace multiple missing teeth, giving you a functional and beautiful smile.
Some of the best benefits of dentures are as follows:
- Elevated confidence: By replacing missing teeth, dentures can help you feel confident in your smile.
- Improved speech: Missing teeth can impact your ability to speak clearly. Dentures can remedy this problem by supporting facial muscles and lips and helping with proper tongue placement.
- Better chewing ability: Dentures can make it possible for you to chew foods, as they offer a stable chewing surface.
- Promoting tooth alignment: Missing teeth can cause remaining teeth to shift out of alignment. Dentures can sustain proper tooth spacing and prevent further issues.
- Cost-effective results: For many, dentures are a cost-effective option for replacing missing teeth compared to implants or bridges.
- Versatile solutions: Dentures can be customized to match the color, shape, and size of your teeth and gums, providing a smile that looks natural.
The Denture Fitting Process
If dentures are optimal for your situation, the fitting process is the first step toward restoring your smile. It primarily involves taking impressions and measurements of your mouth to determine the proper size and shape of the denture. We use a premier 3D scanning device at Sycamore Dental and or traditional impressions. The 3D scanning technology gives us a detailed picture of your remaining teeth, implants, gum surfaces, and jaw in a matter of minutes. Traditional impressions are taken if necessary or preferred. This advanced approach has made us a highly trusted source for dentures and partial dentures in Vista.
What Are Dentures Made of?
The base of most dentures is composed of acrylic resin, a durable and lightweight material that can be made to match your natural gum color. The denture teeth are usually ordered to match your existing teeth or your choice of shades and colors.
Partial dentures may feature a titanium or cobalt-chromium metal framework. Other partial dentures are made of a flexible acrylic base depending on the patient's preferences.
The right materials for you will depend on your smile goals and the type of denture you need. Choosing materials will be a key part of our fitting process.
