What Are Dentures?
We know how important it is to feel good about your smile. Missing teeth can impact your daily life, but dentures can help bring back comfort, confidence, and function. Dentures are removable or implant-supported prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth. Whether you're missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some of their natural teeth but need replacements for missing ones. At UMG Family Dentistry, we offer both detachable dentures and implant-held dentures, crafted to fit comfortably and look natural. Our team will work closely with you to find the best type of dentures for your needs and lifestyle.
How Do Dentures Work?
The process for dentures at UMG Family Dentistry begins with a consultation where we evaluate your oral health and discuss your tooth replacement options. If dentures are right for you, we start by taking precise scans or molded impressions of your upper and lower arches. These impressions are sent to a high-quality dental lab that customizes your dentures for a comfortable fit. Depending on your choice of partial dentures or complete dentures, the prosthetics are made from durable, lightweight resin. For patients choosing implant-supported dentures, titanium posts will be surgically placed in the jaw to anchor the dentures securely. Once your dentures are ready, you'll return for a fitting appointment as we ensure your new teeth feel comfortable. We'll make any necessary adjustments and go over instructions on how to clean your dentures so your new smile stays fresh and healthy.
What Are the Benefits of Dentures?
At UMG Family Dentistry, we believe in the importance of providing custom solutions that suit each patient's unique needs. Dentures offer many advantages for those who have lost teeth, including:
- Affordable solution for missing teeth
- Restored self-confidence
- Easy maintenance and cleaning
- Improved facial aesthetics, preventing the sagging appearance that often follows tooth loss
- Clearer speech
- Enhanced digestion, as dentures restore proper chewing ability
- Natural-looking results with high-quality materials
