Dentures – Lakewood, TX

What Types of Dentures Are There?

Dentures are a classic solution for those with moderate to severe tooth loss. They contain lifelike replacement teeth that are set into an acrylic gum-colored base. Depending on your unique circumstances, we may recommend:

Partial Dentures

If you still have some healthy teeth remaining, partial dentures can help you seamlessly fill in the gaps in your smile. Like a puzzle piece, these restorations are custom-made to fit perfectly around and between your natural tooth structure. Small metal clasps wrapped discreetly around your remaining teeth hold them in place.

Full Dentures

A full denture can replace an entire arch of missing teeth all at once. This type of denture rests on top of your gums. Thanks to the precise custom fit of the base, a strong, comfortable suction is formed to hold your new smile firmly in place as you talk, eat, and smile.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Alternatively, you may be able to anchor your denture in place with dental implants. Instead of relying on the gums or healthy teeth for support, implant-retained dentures are anchored directly into the jawbone. This unique method gives implant-retained dentures unmatched comfort, functionality, and the potential to last a lifetime. During your consultation, we’ll help you determine if you’re a good candidate for this type of denture.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Chances are, if you’re missing teeth, you’re probably a good candidate for dentures. However, you may need to complete a few preliminary treatments before restoring your smile’s appearance. Once issues like tooth decay and gum disease have been addressed and any necessary tooth extractions have been performed, we can start fitting you for your new denture.

What Are the Benefits of Dentures?

While dentures have been around for hundreds of years, they’ve advanced by leaps and bounds thanks to modern dental technology and materials. Nowadays, dentures are more lifelike and comfortable than ever before! This popular restoration offers several benefits, such as:

• Improved appearance: Your dentures will be crafted from natural-looking and reliable materials so you can show off your new smile confidently.
