Modern Dentures That Look and Feel Natural
When considering dentures, outdated stereotypes may come to mind. However, modern technology has greatly improved the appearance and comfort of dentures. They now look and feel more natural than ever before. If you are seeking to restore your smile after tooth loss, custom dentures from Round Lake Family Dentistry of Round Lake could be the perfect solution for you.
Who would benefit from wearing dentures?
Losing many teeth can have a significant impact on your overall health and daily life. It may make you self-conscious about smiling in public and cause your face to appear sunken without the support of teeth. Speaking clearly and eating certain foods may also become more difficult.
If you are experiencing any of these problems and your gums are healthy, dentures in Round Lake could be a solution for you. They are a great option for people who have lost most or all of their teeth.
Different kinds of dentures
When you come in for a consultation with Dr. Shah, he will assess your individual needs to determine the best type of dentures for you. Here are some of the most common types of dentures available:
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are utilized when there are still some natural teeth present. They are custom-designed to blend in seamlessly with your existing teeth, much like a puzzle piece that fits perfectly into place. These dentures consist of an acrylic base and either resin or porcelain teeth, with metal or acrylic attachments to ensure a secure fit in the mouth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are utilized to replace all teeth in the upper or lower dental arch, or both. Typically made with an acrylic base, they are secured in place using natural suction or adhesive. These dentures are custom-designed to provide maximum comfort while resting on the gums.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are not placed on the gums, but are securely anchored in place using prosthetic tooth roots that are surgically implanted by Dr. Shah beneath the gumline. These implants provide a strong base for the attached teeth, allowing patients to experience the most secure and natural-feeling tooth replacement available.
Dentures offer many advantages
Dentures offer a range of exceptional benefits, such as:
- Each patient receives custom-made dentures tailored to their unique needs.
- The dentures closely resemble natural teeth in appearance.
- They allow you to enjoy a diverse range of nutritious and tasty foods.
- They help maintain the fullness of your cheeks, boosting your confidence.
- They are simple to clean and care for.
- In many instances, they are a cost-effective option and may be partially covered by insurance.
