What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral functionality and aesthetics. There are two types of dentures - partial and complete dentures - that come in several different forms and materials. Our team at Lakeside Dental will work with you to understand your specific dental needs and recommend the right type of denture to meet your needs.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed to replace one or a few missing teeth. They're removable and held in place by adjacent teeth or dental implants. Partial dentures help to restore your smile and improve oral function, making it easier to eat, speak, and maintain a healthy jawbone. There are several types of partial dentures available depending on the specific needs of the patient:

• Cast Metal Partial Dentures: Made from a metal framework and acrylic, cast metal partial dentures are excellent for those with multiple missing teeth. They are highly durable, comfortable, and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.

• Acrylic Partial Dentures: Acrylic partial dentures are made from a plastic base with acrylic teeth attached. They are a more affordable option, but not as durable or long-lasting as cast metal partial dentures.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures, also known as full dentures, are designed to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw and allow you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. They are best suited for those who have lost all or most of their teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease. There are two types of complete dentures that our team at Lakeside Dental offer:

• Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are placed immediately after tooth extraction. They allow you to wear a new denture while your gums and jawbone heal, which takes around six months. After that, you'll receive a permanent set of dentures that fit better and are more comfortable than the immediate denture.

• Conventional Dentures: Conventional dentures are placed after your gums and jawbone have healed. They are custom-fitted to your mouth and provide excellent functionality and aesthetics, giving you back your beautiful smile and confidence.
