Restorative
Those with numerous missing teeth or severe decay can use traditional or implant-supported dentures to restore their ability to properly eat, speak, and even smile!
Candidates
For Dentures
While implants and bridges can be good solutions for missing teeth, dentures can be used when numerous teeth have been lost or exhibit severe signs of decay. At the Dental Arts Center, our patients most enjoy that dentures give them the ability to finally eat and speak properly again. It's also a big relief that dentures improve their health, as missing teeth force the remaining teeth to work extra hard. This imbalance commonly leads to bone loss and/or gum disease.

Health Benefits
Aside from their numerous health benefits, patients who receive dentures also find that their facial appearance is improved, as missing teeth can result in facial muscle laxity, which gives the face an aged and sagging appearance. Dentures seamlessly pull these facial muscles back into place, creating a younger and more refreshed appearance.
Beautiful Smile
Patients also love looking in the mirror and seeing that their dentures give them a full-mouth smile to be proud of. They tell us they love flashing their new set of clean, straight, and sparkling white teeth in photos that they avoided taking prior to having dentures! Creating these types of experiences are very rewarding to us.
Traditional Vs. Implant-Supported Dentures
If you're like most people, thinking of dentures will immediately make you envision the traditional version that is removable. These dentures are custom-fitted to the patient's gums and are placed on top of their tissue. They are quite stable, reliable, and adjustable, though they will need to be modified with age as the mouth and bone structure changes. On the other hand, implant-supported dentures are a much stronger solution. These permanent (not removable) dentures are attached to titanium posts which are surgically implanted into the jawline. Since there is no concern about implant-supported dentures becoming loose, the patient can eat anything that they want.

While dentures are not for everyone, they can be a great option for some patients, depending on their specific needs, goals, and lifestyle expectations.
