Full & Partial Dentures in Woodridge

Dentures are dental appliances that can provide you with replacement teeth. They are specially made for your smile and feature a set of artificial teeth that attach to either a permanent dental implant or an easy-to-remove frame. A denture can also prevent future tooth loss and uphold your facial structure. With all of these benefits and the fact that a denture can stay strong for many years with proper care, they are well worth the cost.

Absolutely. In fact, there are a surprising number of dentures available today. Our dentist can help you select the denture that's best for your teeth and your personal preferences after conducting a dental exam. And if costs are a factor, be assured that we can give you the affordable quality dentures that you need.

Replacing most or all of your teeth in your upper or lower jaw requires a full denture, either a fixed full denture that stays in place with a permanent implant or a removable full denture that simply goes over your gums. For a full denture, we will first extract any existing teeth and then send you with home with a temporary denture to use until your gums properly heal. You will come back to our office once you have fully healed to receive your new permanent denture.

Only restoring one or a few missing teeth while retaining all of your others only requires partial dentures. It looks similar to a dental bridge, but lacks the permanence of a bridge and instead has metal clasps that grasp the surrounding teeth for support. A partial denture must be removed and well-cleaned at least once a day.

These dentures feature a base and clasps that are made from a flesh-colored, flexible material. This makes them less visible and more uncomfortable than the solid base and shiny metal clasps of a traditional denture. These can be a worthwhile options if you don't want anyone to know that you have a denture.

As the name implies, these are secured into your lower jawbone by either a pair or four dental implants. They are primarily used to replace the lower teeth since they demand more stability. Yet, they still need to be taken out and cleaned every evening like a traditional denture.

These can provide you with the ease of a fixed denture and stronger chewing force because they only require four dental implants in your lower jaw to hold an entire set of new teeth.

Getting dentures is much easier than you think, even though the procedure is based on your denture choice and the health of your teeth and gums. The procedure typically starts by having impressions and measurements of your teeth taken for the dental lab. Next, any unhealthy teeth must be pulled and you get a temporary denture for daily use until the lab has created your denture. You will receive your dental implants at this time if you have opted for an implant-supported denture. As soon as your dentures are crafted, your dentist will give you your denture and adjust it for maximum function and comfort.

Not necessarily. The materials used for the kind of denture you want and the extent of prep work you need will determine your total fee. Our dentists can provide you affordable quality dentures if costs are an issue for you. To see if you're eligible for a denture, please give us a call to schedule a dental consultation today.

You can prevent the soreness and oral pain that can result from the sharp acrylic lining found in a regular denture. A soft reline is crafted out of a bendable material that can remain soft and supple for a couple of years.
