Dentures

Dentures Defined

Dentures offer an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring both function and appearance to your smile. They are custom-created, removable dental appliances that sit on your gum line to appear natural and support facial muscles, preventing premature aging in appearance due to missing teeth.

Complete vs. Partial Dentures: Which Style Do You Need?

Our Manhattan dental office offers full and partial dentures. Both denture styles serve different purposes and are designed to meet each patient’s unique needs. Partial dentures are for those who have only lost a few teeth and still have some natural teeth remaining. These types of dentures are designed to fit into the gaps in your smile and fill in the missing teeth. On the other hand, complete dentures are for those who have lost an entire row of teeth, need a complete set of teeth to restore their smile, and are typically held in place by suction or dental adhesive. Whether you need full or partial dentures, Group Health Dental will work with you to determine the best type for your needs.

Restore Radiance and Youth with Full or Partial Dentures

Getting dentures may seem overwhelming, but it can be a direct yet personable experience with the correct information. Firstly, a dentist will examine your mouth and assess if dentures are the appropriate treatment for you. Next, impressions of your gums will be taken to create a model of your mouth. From there, the denture framework will be created, and you will try on a wax model to ensure a perfect fit. Once the fit is confirmed, the denture teeth will be added, and final adjustments will be made before the dentures are complete. It is important to note that adjusting to wearing dentures may take some time, as it can be a sizable change. However, with patience and regular dental checkups, dentures can provide a comfortable solution to missing teeth.
