Denture and Partial Dentures
The Benefits Of Dentures
Dentures are an affordable way to replace any number of missing teeth in your mouth. They have a long history of success and continue to earn a place in the list of options for rebuilding your smile. With cosmetic dentures, you can remove them at any time, such as when eating or sleeping. Full dentures are used when a person is missing all their natural teeth, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth here or there to solve problems like gaps or trouble chewing. Denture treatment is customized specifically to each patient, and Dr. Ross can help you decide which option works best for you.
Full Dentures (Conventional and Implant-Supported)
Some dental conditions like tooth decay or gum disease can become unmanageable. This may lead to the decision to remove your remaining teeth on one or both arches. Full dentures are an economical and efficient way to restore your function and smile. A complete denture consists of a thin gum-colored acrylic base that rests on the gum tissue. Porcelain or acrylic replacement teeth built into the base give the appearance of natural teeth. Our dentist have the experience to help you select the teeth that will look the most natural. This gives you the option to customize how you want your teeth to look.

Partial Dentures
Whether you’ve lost one tooth or many, chewing and smiling can become more difficult because of the gaps in your smile. Partial dentures are an affordable solution to replace missing teeth, and restore your confidence to smile. A partial denture will help keep your natural teeth from shifting, which lowers the risk of losing those teeth in the future.
In addition, most partial dentures contain a thin metal framework with small metal clasps that wrap around the gum line of existing teeth. This allows for a smooth, non-bulky feel. The framework is supported by your natural teeth to provide a reliable, secure appliance that is easy to use and remove. Where teeth are missing, natural-looking replacement teeth are attached, and gum-colored acrylic is used to cover the metal framework.
