Dentures and Overdentures
Dentures are a type of dental appliance that replaces missing teeth. The unique thing about dentures is that they can be taken out and replaced in the mouth when needed. While it takes time to get used to dentures, today’s modern advanced dental technology has made them look more natural and made them more comfortable than was ever possible in the past. Patients can choose between full and partial dentures depending on the level of tooth loss experience. Older individuals typically may require a full denture because virtually all-natural teeth have fallen out or been removed. Keep in mind that each dental patient is unique and different and that is why there are so many different options available today when it comes to dentures and other dental devices.
Snapped into Place for a Secure and Strong Fit
Conversely, overdentures are a type of denture that is supported by a dental implant. This is sometimes the perfect option for those who have multiple missing teeth. Overdentures are typically a full set of artificial teeth that are made in such a way that they will attach to dental implants. This allows them to be snapped into place for a secure and strong fit. They can easily be unsnapped and removed for cleaning or sleeping as desired. Whether choosing conventional dentures or implant-based dentures, one thing is sure and that is that dental patients have more choices than they have ever had in the past when it comes to replacing missing teeth. This is great news for those wishing to enjoy greater functionality and a beautiful smile.
