Dentures
When a person loses teeth, confidence and oral health take a hit. Dentures will restore your ability to talk, eat, and smile with self-assurance. Today's dentures are designed to look and feel like healthy, natural teeth.
Full dentures are complete rows of prosthetic teeth for both your upper and lower jaw, affixed to gum-colored bases. You may need full dentures or just one arch - upper or lower. Patients typically use adhesive or natural suction to secure their dentures. However, lower dentures can slip quite easily. If you wear dentures for a long time, your gum ridges may wear down, which also increases potential for slippage. Dental implants offer a way to stabilize dentures more securely.
When you have healthy remaining teeth, Dr. Coleman may suggest a partial denture to close the gaps in your smile. Partials contain as many prosthetic teeth as necessary to fill in the spaces left by missing teeth, and they fit with existing teeth like a puzzle. Partials can be secured to hidden clasps or dental implants. They are a removable appliance, unlike a bridge.
