Dentures

If you are missing one or more teeth, dentures offer an attractive, affordable prosthetic solution. You can restore your smile, gain confidence, and improve your ability to eat and drink with good-fitting dentures. Schedule a free consultation with Tradition Dental to learn more!

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth that replace natural teeth, attaching to a plastic base to mimic the look of natural gums. They can be easily removed for cleaning. If you are looking for a less expensive alternative to dental implants, partial or full sets of dentures are ideal. They provide a more budget-friendly solution than implants while still approximating the look and function of natural teeth.

Why Dentures Are Right For You

There are many reasons someone might need dentures, including injury, illness, decay, and gum disease. Replacing missing teeth not only restores normal eating and drinking function, but can be a tremendous boost to your self-esteem. Missing teeth can cause embarrassment and shame.

However, dentures are not for everyone — their temporary nature is designed to allow for regular removal and cleaning of these prosthetic dental appliances. Some people may want a more permanent solution, such as dental implants. The staff at Tradition Dental will guide you to the best solution to enable you to eat and drink without worry.

Partial vs. Full Dentures

Dentures are available in partial or full sets. A partial, or bridge, is a removable section of replacement teeth for people who have some remaining healthy, natural teeth. However, if you have issues that cause all teeth to be removed, they can be replaced with a complete set of dentures.

The healing process can take several months. Immediate dentures allow you to wear teeth right away but will require multiple adjustments during the healing process. Conventional dentures are not placed until after the healing is over, which can be several months after tooth removal. At Tradition Dental, we fully evaluate all of your options and will help you choose the optimal solution for your mouth and lifestyle.
