Implants & Dentures Dentistry Can Elevate Your Smile To A New Level

Tooth loss affects a large portion of the nation. So, if you’re missing one or more teeth, you don’t have to feel alone. Many people have been or still are in the same position as you. The good news is that your dentist in Park Ridge has two stand-out solutions: dental implants and dentures. Dental implants can serve as a sturdy foundation for dentures, offering a secure fit that feels more natural and stable than traditional removable dentures. For those who still have some of their natural teeth, dentures partials are another excellent option.

Types of Dentures To Choose From

Partial dentures, otherwise known as removable dentures, are ideal when some abutting teeth have been lost or nearby teeth cannot support a bridge. The denture comprises one or several artificial teeth and fits like a glove because clasps attach it to existing teeth. When it’s time to brush and floss, all you have to do is take them out. In cases where individuals have no remaining teeth, temporary dentures for no teeth offer a practical and immediate solution. Additionally, for those in the process of getting permanent dentures made, temporary teeth while waiting for dentures can be a significant benefit. These temporary teeth allow you to maintain a natural appearance and functionality, such as speaking and eating comfortably, during the interim period.

Full dentures are suitable to address complete tooth loss. It supports an entire arch of replacement teeth, and they too can be removed. Complete dentures offer a full solution for those who have lost all their teeth in an upper or lower arch, or both.

The Scoop On Dental Implants

Dental implants are as close as you’ll get to the real thing. That’s because a titanium post (artificial tooth root) is placed in your jaw, and an ultra-strong cap is secured to an abutment. Implants are solid, won’t shift, and are effective at preventing bone loss.

Dentures and implants are both great restorative options when it comes to tooth loss. Contact our team today to find out which is best for you, your goals, and your unique situation. We look forward to working with you!
