Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are typically made from acrylic resin combined with metal attachments for added strength and stability. At [dr_last] Family Dentistry, our goal is to ensure that each set of dentures is custom-fitted to offer maximum comfort and functionality.
Types of Dentures Available
- Complete Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing in either the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial Dentures: Ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These provide additional support and stability by anchoring the denture to dental implants.
The Benefits of Choosing Dentures
Dentures offer numerous advantages beyond improving one's appearance:
- Enhanced Chewing Ability: Regain the ability to eat a wide variety of foods without discomfort.
- Improved Speech: Correct speech issues often caused by missing teeth.
- Support for Facial Structure: Prevent the sagging of facial muscles that can occur after tooth loss.
