Shifting your smile into high gear with durable, attractive partials and dentures
While tooth loss can be devastating, partials and full dentures provide a second chance at a wonderful smile! And, due to the many denture services at Ferrari Dental in Montville, New Jersey, you may never have to be seen in public without your new teeth.
How can I get my new teeth so fast?
We may provide you with immediate dentures. Think of this as your provisional denture, which fills gaps in your smile as we wait for your gums to heal and bone to realign following any extractions. Since healing can take six months, immediate dentures are a highly attractive option that also provides you with an opportunity to get accustomed to chewing and speaking with your dentures.
But aren’t dentures fake-looking and ill-fitting?
Today’s dentures are not the same as your mother’s or grandfather’s. The materials and technologies used to design and fabricate them have come a long way. They have never better replicated the appearance and feel of natural gums and teeth. When designed and made properly and to your specifications, dentures complement your facial structure and features and also “stay put.” You can laugh, speak, and even eat chewy or sticky foods without holding back.
What if I still have some healthy teeth?
Then you may be a good candidate for “partials”! They can be a smart and cost-effective option if you have multiple missing or failing teeth. This appliance is generally made up of replacement teeth that are connected to a gum-colored plastic base. It is held in place by special clasps or attachments that are connected to existing teeth. This denture is in contrast to full or complete dentures, which are held in place by natural suction.
What if my dentures don’t fit as well as they used to?
Due to the design of full dentures, it is essential that a proper fit is maintained. The denture base must conform securely to the tissues surrounding it. There must be a strong seal between the natural tissues and the denture. With time, these natural tissues can shrink or evolve, which alters the fit of your denture. It’s essential to maintain certain denture care services to keep your denture functioning properly. Without services like a professional denture reline, it will become loose and slide around in your mouth, causing painful sores, embarrassing slip-ups, and difficulty eating and speaking. We are also happy to explore alternatives to conventional removable dentures with you, such as overdentures.
What are overdentures?
Overdentures are designed to fit over dental implants. They are a more stable alternative, because the denture is held in place by implants that are inserted and secured in the jawbone. These implants function like tooth roots to stabilize the denture. The denture simply “snaps” into the implants. This is not only a highly secure option, but overdentures also help to retain the structure of your face and the health of the supportive bone in the jaw.
