Dentures
The thought of losing your teeth can be frightening, but you can have dentures or partials that are comfortable and look natural. Dentures and partials are removable replacements for your teeth. Dentures replace all of your teeth. Partials replace large groups of teeth and rely on surrounding teeth to hold them in place. In order to create dentures and partials that stay in place, are comfortable, and look natural, you must have a precise fit and bite alignment.
Losing all or some of your teeth does not mean losing your self-esteem or confidence. Whether you have lost teeth due to disease or because of an accident, there are many options to enhancing or creating the smile that is right for you. If you are missing one or more teeth, it is important to fill those spaces. Every tooth should have an opposing tooth to give you a full and balanced bite. Without a full compliment of teeth, you may be over traumatizing some or all of your remaining teeth. Without an opposing tooth in your bite, the tooth could erupt out of the supporting bone.
There are many treatment options available to alter or adjust existing dentures until you are ready to have new ones made. During your initial consultation you will be advised on whether you require a complete replacement, minor adjusting or a total transformation altogether to your existing dentures. Your Denturist or dentist will clearly explain and ensure you understand all of your options so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
Dentures and partials made without a full understanding of your bite alignment can result in problems such as:
- Dentures that slip and rub causing pain
- Difficulty speaking
- Difficulty chewing
- Upper dentures that drop
- Lower dentures that float
- Misaligned bite
- Damage to surrounding teeth
- Dentures or partials that look fake
Today’s technology allows the Denturist to create a smile that is natural and confident. A denture doesn’t have to look like a denture any more. High quality teeth made with layers of different acrylics are as close to your natural teeth as can be. It is nearly impossible to tell them from the real thing allowing you to smile with complete confidence. Full Dentures A full denture is removable and is prescribed when all the teeth in one or both of your arches are missing.
First, the Denturist takes an accurate measurement of your face. Next, the shape and the shade of each tooth are carefully selected creating a custom smile designed especially for you. Partials A partial denture is a removable dental appliance supported by your natural teeth. It may be required where there are one or more missing teeth. Many options are available and often a partial denture is prescribed. A crown or bridge may be the preferred treatment and your Dentist or Denturist will advise you on the best treatment for you. Today, a wide variety of partial denture designs is available.

Removable Partial Dentures
Partial dentures do not harm remaining natural teeth. A partial denture may prevent your natural teeth from shifting or drifting into the space left by the loss of a natural tooth. In fact, a partial denture may help maintain the position of your natural teeth by providing them with additional support.
It can help you to chew food properly, improve speech, give you lip and cheek support, and prevent your remaining teeth from changing position by drifting into the surrounding spaces. Teeth that are out of position can damage the tissues in the mouth.
