We can help you figure out the best dentures to suit your needs.
Are you currently trying to figure out the best type of dentures for you? If so, our San Diego, CA, dentist Dr. Edmund Jay can certainly help you make the right decision regarding treating your tooth loss. Here are the different types of dentures that are offered and how they could benefit your smile,
Full Dentures
Full dentures are often recommended when a person no longer has any healthy natural teeth left. These false teeth can replace either your upper or lower teeth and are removable. The false teeth, which are typically made out of porcelain, sit on an acrylic base that is custom-designed to match natural gum tissue.
Modern dentures are not your grandfather’s dentures! Thanks to high-quality dental materials and incredible advancements in technology, full dentures are more resilient, durable, and natural than ever before. If you are looking for a way to replace all of your upper and/or lower teeth, talk to your San Diego, CA, family dentist about full dentures.
Partial Dentures
If you have gaps in your smile but you still have natural teeth remaining, then partial dentures are going to be a better option for you. Partial dentures may be either removable or fixed in place, depending on your specific needs. Partial dentures will fill those gaps in your smile with natural-looking false teeth that may be held in place by your healthy natural teeth. Sometimes people refer to fixed partial dentures as bridges.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Maybe you are a current denture wearer who was hoping that their false teeth would act and feel a little more like real teeth. While dentures have certainly come a long way we also know that it will take time to get used to your new teeth; however, if you would like a way to keep your dentures firmly in place without having to worry about them moving around when speaking or chewing, dental implants can hold them in place.
Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone where they can anchor your dentures and prevent them from moving around. Since implants act just like real teeth, they can provide you with a long-term and dependable solution for keeping your dentures in place all day, every day.
