What Are Full & Partial Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made dental prosthetics that replace one or more missing teeth to aid in chewing function, speech, and to look as natural as possible. Full dentures and partial dentures are two of the best tooth replacement options available in dentistry.

We strive to create your dentures to be as cosmetically appealing as possible, giving you a more youthful and attractive smile!

General dentistry at Clarity Dentistry includes the health of your teeth and your gums! This can include your regularly scheduled x-rays, cleanings, and exams with the doctor but also services such as tooth-colored fillings, extractions, and more.

Preventative dentistry also includes getting a small filling done before it turns into a larger filling, a crown, or a root canal.

Crowns and Bridges

With dental crowns and bridges, our cosmetic dentist at Clarity Dentistry offers dental patients ways to replace broken and damaged teeth or teeth that are missing altogether through high-quality dental crowns and bridges. This would allow patients to continue to use their teeth as normal.

Denture FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Are the Benefits of Dentures?

Chew Better

One of the major drawbacks of missing teeth is that chewing and eating food becomes much more difficult. One of the steps for proper food digestion is being able to break it down into a more digestible size. People have to rely on a soft diet, as harder foods cannot be broken down properly in the absence of teeth. With dentures, one can chew and digest food much more properly, and he or she will be able to better enjoy meals.

Look Better

Our teeth play a major role in making us look attractive in our daily lives. Loss of teeth can make a person look more aged, as missing teeth are generally associated with the aging process. Apart from that, the sagging of cheeks and lips becomes prominent due to the lack of support by missing teeth. All these problems can be greatly reduced with dentures. Having a nice set of teeth, whether natural or artificial, can dramatically enhance your appearance.

Correction of Bite Pattern

Even the loss of a single tooth can bring about potentially damaging changes in your mouth. When we lose our teeth, our bite pattern is bound to change. The jaws tend to adjust to achieve maximum biting forces with our remaining teeth, adding additional stresses in places that aren’t supported. Apart from that, the adjacent teeth tend to move and fill in the space created by the lost teeth, known as drifting. Teeth that have moved can be more difficult to keep clean, possibly creating periodontal issues. When you get dentures or partials, rest assured that your biting pattern and teeth spacing will remain in tact.

Prevention of TMJ Problems

Our temporomandibular joint gets affected negatively if there is an alteration from the normal biting or chewing pattern. This is because this joint is the one that takes the maximum brunt of the biting activity in our mouth. Correction of biting pattern through tooth replacement is mandatory for TMJ to be in a good and healthy state.

Correction of Speech

Have you ever had a chat with a person who has no teeth? If so, you may have noticed that the lack of teeth inhibits proper speech and/or creates a lisp. To make certain sounds for words, your tongue needs to come in contact with teeth at a certain spot. One of the most important functions of our teeth is to facilitate phonetics. When you lose teeth, the ability to communicate through speech also gets hampered. Dentures help people to regain normal speech.

What Are the Various Types of Dentures?

Essentially, there are two types of dentures available – complete dentures and partial dentures, both of which can come in a variety of styles, materials, implant supported, etc.

Depending on your particular situation, we offer a wide variety of dentures to our patients. This is because we respect the individuality of every single patient who comes to us seeking help.

What Are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures are an artificial, full set of teeth that snugly rest on the toothless ridge of your mouth. They aid in chewing function, restore aesthetics to your smile, and inhibit facial collapse which is a byproduct of having no teeth for many years.

So, if you have lost all your teeth on your top and/or bottom arch, then complete dentures are a great tooth replacement solution.

Complete dentures can also be implant anchored to better support and stabilize the appliance in the mouth. We have found that outside of a full mouth reconstruction with dental implants, an implant supported denture is one of the best options available.

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are custom tailored to replace only a certain number of missing teeth, as opposed to all of them on a single arch. For instance, if you have lost two top front teeth and a couple upper molars in the back, the appliance will be made with just those missing teeth set on the material you choose.

With partial dentures, there are a couple types of materials from which the base and the clasps can be made. The most durable and sturdy partials are generally made with metal and acrylic, however some find that flexible partials using a thermoplastic material have a better fit, feel, and aesthetics.

What Are Immediate Dentures?

The name immediate suggests the nature and timing of the placement of the denture. Immediately after the tooth/teeth are extracted, a denture is delivered, and the healing of the jaws takes place under this denture itself. This immediate delivery is performed in situations where the patient doesn’t want to walk out of the office after the procedure without teeth.

Also, as an FYI, an immediate denture will more likely require the denture(s) to be relined at a later date for proper fit. As the gums heal, gum shrinkage will occur causing the denture to not fit as well as it once did.

What Are Implant Supported Dentures?

Implant supported dentures are full or partial dentures secured to the jaw by use of surgically placed implants that fuse to the jaw bone. These implants act as synthetic roots that fasten securely into the denture for greater stability.

They do not fall down or pop off while speaking and stay secure in place effortlessly. In terms of overall comfort that provides optimal function, implant supported dentures are the top choice.

Patient Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Dr. Bowen was very thorough in explaining what why I was having the pain I was having in my mouth. April was also very helpful as well! I really like how professional they were. Even though I found out I need to have some work done everything they said as to why made sense. I would definitely recommend going there!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My four year old has been to two pediatric dentists that have him a huge fear of the dentist. Dr. Bowen and the hygienist that worked with my son were gentle and did everything possible to make him comfortable. If you or your kiddo are anxious about the dentist you should absolutely check out Clarity.
