Dentures are not only for the aged anymore. People of all ages and walks of life who have lost their teeth due to injury or disease have opted for dentures or partials to restore their biting surface and smile.
- Full dentures: Complete dentures replace all of your teeth on the upper and lower arches of your mouth or both. Dentures provide support for your facial muscles and restore your ability to eat a balanced diet.
There are two types of full dentures:
Immediate dentures: Fabricated prior to extracting any or all remaining teeth and placed “immediately” following the extractions. This allows the patient to have teeth while the gum tissue is healing. Often called Temporary or Immediate dentures.Complete denture: Complete dentures replace an existing denture, whether you’ve had it for several years or you're moving to your permanent denture after the immediate denture has served its purpose.
- Partials: To replace one or more missing teeth that are surrounded by your natural teeth. They can attach to your natural teeth in several ways and prevent your remaining natural teeth from shifting.
Smile Innovations uses the latest technology to create dentures and partials that look natural and make it easier to eat, speak and smile confidently. Dentures may take a while to adjust to, but as long as you practice good oral hygiene, they should help you enjoy a happy and healthy life.
