Dentures in Henderson

Different Types of Dentures

There are two main types of dentures — full and partial. When it comes to partial dentures, there are two main subgroups. While not technically dentures, dental implants are also an option to consider for missing teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, either upper, lower, or both. These are generally made of acrylic and resin and sit directly on the gums. They may be used for eating and can be fitted either directly after tooth extraction or after the gums have healed.

Full dentures are a good option when you are missing an entire arch of teeth, or the teeth in an entire arch must be pulled for medical reasons.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when some teeth are left in the arch. They generally consist of false replacement teeth bonded to a gum-colored base. In most cases, they’re secured in the mouth with clasps or other anchors that help the dentures stay in the mouth.

For partial dentures in Henderson, Absolute Dental offers the best prices and the best options.

Implant Supported Dentures

Implant supported dentures are often the preferred method when an entire arch calls for dentures. Implant supported dentures consist of a titanium or ceramic post inserted into the jawbone which the dentures can then snap into.

This type of denture increases stability over full dentures that sit directly on the gums.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are not technically dentures but are the gold-standard option to consider for tooth replacement. They consist of titanium or ceramic posts surgically implanted into the jawbone. Once these implants heal, crowns, or false teeth are secured to the posts.

These are most often used when patients are missing only a few teeth. They act just like natural teeth and have little maintenance compared to dentures.

The Benefits of Dentures

The most obvious benefit of dentures is the renewed aesthetic appearance. Dentures are made to mimic natural teeth and appear natural. They also help hold the natural shape of the face which can collapse without teeth.

Dentures also improve speech and eating. Tooth loss can reduce the amount of food you are able to eat, and dentures can restore it. Dentures can even ensure patients are getting proper nutrition, as eating becomes easier. Teeth are also an important part of pronunciation and speech, and dentures help people speak naturally again.

Dentures are also the most affordable tooth replacement option. In comparison with dental implants, dentures are more modestly priced. They are also a non-surgical option and typically have less down time than dental implants.  

Additionally, dentures are easy to maintain. They typically take just one more cleaning step than natural teeth, as they generally need to be soaked at night in special solutions, but are otherwise relatively maintenance free.

Finally, dentures are non-invasive and boost self-confidence. Without surgery, you can look and feel yourself again. Dentures allow millions of people across the world to eat, speak, and interact naturally.

The Process of Getting Dentures

The process of getting dentures is relatively straightforward:

Initial Consultation

First, you’ll come in for an initial consultation and inspection with one of our dentists. At your consultation, your dentist will discuss with you your unique situation, options that may be right for you, pricing, and answer any questions you may have. Once you and your dentist decide on a course of treatment, treatment in earnest can begin.

Impressions

After the initial consultation is complete, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and gums. Impressions are akin to a mold of your unique mouth structure to ensure when the dentures are made, they fit properly. Your dentist will also take some measurements and will likely take X-rays or other imaging.

Tooth Extraction

In some cases, remaining teeth will need to be extracted before your dentures can be fitted. In most cases, your gums will need time to heal before the final dentures are placed, but, in some instances, dentures can be fitted immediately.

Wax Dentures

In some cases, you may receive dentures made of wax to try before your actual dentures are fabricated. This helps ensure an exact fit before the actual dentures are manufactured. Adjustments can still be made at this stage.

Manufacturing

After the planning is complete, your dentures will be manufactured. This typically takes just a few days.

Final Fitting

Finally, your new dentures will be ready for your final fitting and to wear home. At this appointment, your dentist may make slight adjustments, but overall, you’ll get to enjoy your new smile and the ability to eat comfortably again.
