Tooth loss can lead to complications and potential future oral health issues. Unfortunately, lost teeth can compromise self-esteem, alter the bite, and affect the smile’s aesthetics. Luckily, recent advances in dentures allow those who suffer from tooth loss to replace their teeth and get their smile back.
At Stonehenge Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide dentures for patients in Raleigh, NC. Dentures are custom-made replacement teeth that closely resemble your natural teeth. This restorative dentistry treatment can improve your original tooth position.
What are Full Dentures?
Our dentures create an aesthetically pleasing smile, prevent sagging facial muscles, and reestablish proper face height and profile. Full dentures improve tooth function, restoring patients ability to eat, chew, and talk properly. Complete or full dentures replace full arches of missing teeth.
We will work closely with each patient to carefully design their oral appliances. Our team ensures that each denture looks and feels natural, is cost-effective, and lasts. We take dental impressions to create their full dentures, working with a dental lab to create durable dentures.
Dentures usually consist of a gum-colored base and fake teeth that match the shape and color of natural teeth. We may also recommend dental implants to secure a full denture in place. After you receive your complete denture, we will provide daily maintenance and care instructions.
What are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are a great solution for people who are missing only a few select teeth. Even if patients have single missing teeth, their natural teeth can shift to fill in the gap. Shifting teeth can cause headaches and neck and jaw pain. This pain can also lead to tooth sensitivity and difficulty chewing and swallowing. Partial dentures are an economical option to replace missing teeth and fill in these spaces to avoid shifting problems.
If you are interested in this less invasive approach, we will make impressions and have the lab construct a partial denture to match your existing teeth perfectly. Depending on the design, the partial denture will be held on by clasps or slip over the teeth. The end result will be a natural-looking smile that is easy to manage with proper daily oral hygiene.
