Everything You Need to Know About Dentures
Dentures have been used for centuries to replace missing teeth, evolving into modern designs that fit comfortably over the gums. They are secured with either adhesive or dental implants and are typically made from plastic, acrylic, or porcelain. With proper care, dentures can last many years. At Canton-Plymouth Family Dentistry in Canton, MI, we provide both complete and partial dentures to restore your smile.
For patients requiring full mouth reconstruction, several types of dentures are available. Immediate dentures are designed to be placed right after tooth extraction, while conventional dentures are made to fit once the gums have healed and adjusted after tooth removal. Although it may take some time to get used to complete dentures, most people quickly adapt and enjoy a beautiful, functional smile that they may have missed for years or even decades.
Partial Dentures
Not everyone needs full mouth dentures; if you are missing only a few teeth or just one set, partial dentures may be a suitable option. These removable appliances are secured with metal brackets that attach to existing teeth or with adhesives. For those who aren’t ideal candidates for dental implants or fixed bridges, partial dentures offer an affordable solution for tooth restoration.
Modern partial dentures are designed to be more comfortable and natural-looking than ever. To explore your restorative dentistry options, contact us at Canton-Plymouth Family Dentistry.
