Dentures and Partials

Full Dentures

When a patient is missing every tooth, dentures, sometimes referred to as complete, traditional, or full dentures, are selected. In either the upper or lower jawbone, teeth may be absent. There are two types of complete dentures:

• Conventional dentures: After the last tooth is extracted, conventional dentures are preferred for the first eight to twelve weeks. The gums will have more time to heal because these dentures are less invasive.
• Immediate dentures: Immediate dentures don’t require a healing period and can be used right away. Since most people do not wish to have to go without teeth for an extended amount of time, immediate dentures are frequently recommended. As the patient’s gums and mouth shape change during the healing process, immediate dentures must be readjusted. While this could be viewed as inconvenient, instant dentures are typically only seen as a short-term fix.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are a versatile and effective solution for patients who are missing some, but not all, of their teeth. Designed to fill gaps in your smile, partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base that is connected by metal framework. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Partial dentures not only restore the aesthetics of your smile but also improve your ability to chew and speak properly. They help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place, maintaining the proper alignment of your bite. Easy to remove and clean, partial dentures provide a practical and non-invasive way to regain the function and appearance of your teeth, enhancing your overall oral health, confidence and joy in eating again.

Implant Retained Dentures

Implant retained dentures are a modern and effective solution for those who have lost multiple teeth or need a full set of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, implant retained dentures are anchored securely in the mouth using dental implants. These implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the dentures. This method not only improves the fit and comfort of the dentures but also helps preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. Implant retained dentures offer enhanced stability, allowing for better chewing and speaking, and they look and feel more like natural teeth, significantly improving the wearer’s confidence and quality of life.

Immediate Dentures

An immediate denture is a complete or partial denture inserted on the same day as natural teeth are removed. This is an option that Dr Sunkara, Rolling Meadows dentist, can explain to help you make an informed decision about your dental health.
