DENTURES

IMPROVING YOUR SMILE AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Nearly 41 million Americans used dentures. These devices are artificial teeth that can be removed and cleaned and provide an excellent functional foundation for eating and chewing food. They are often the most affordable and sometimes the best way to replace multiple or total tooth loss. At Anthony Martin Dentistry, we take great pride in creating natural-looking appliances that fit comfortably and securely allowing you to eat and smile with confidence.

WHY CHOOSE DENTURES?

If you suffer from missing teeth or total tooth loss, they can help restore the quality of your life. You will be able to eat and drink what you want without dietary limitations. The benefits of dentures include:

  • Increase your self-esteem
  • Improve your facial appearance for a more youthful look
  • Support for your facial muscles, including the cheeks, lips and jaw
  • Improve your speech
  • Easy to remove and clean thoroughly
  • Covered by most dental insurance benefits
  • Cost effective solution for missing teeth
  • Help you eat and chew food

After a thorough examination, Dr. Martin will help you determine if these appliances are the right choice for replacing your missing teeth. There are alternatives such as dental implants that may be better for your specific dental requirements.

TYPES OF DENTURES

There are many different kinds of dentures, and the type that is the best work will depend on your lifestyle and preferences. Dr. Martin will discuss with you in detail about the variety of options we offer and help you select the right one.

  • Full: Also known as complete dentures, may be what you think of when you hear about these devices. The appliances are made of artificial (fake) teeth and a gum-colored base and are designed to replace an entire row of missing teeth.

  • Partial: This may be an option if you are missing just a few teeth. They are supported by your gums and underlying bone but also have clasps that clip until your remaining natural teeth in order to keep them in place.

  • Immediate: In certain situations, some patients may need a tooth extracted before we are able to fit them for your new appliances. Dr. Martin may give you an immediate denture to wear following your extraction which may serve as a temporary device. After you have fully healed, Dr. Martin will replace it with your full or partial dentures.

  • Implant-Retained: Implant-retained dentures are hooked onto dental implants. These are small, threaded posts that are situated in your jawbone to replace missing teeth roots.They usually offer more support compared to traditional dentures because they snap on the jawbone. They are removable like regular dentures.

  • Implant Supported: These devices you are unable to take out yourself. Instead, Dr. Martin would have to remove them. These are only recommended for our patients who wish to have them fully attached in their mouth at all times.
