Different Types of Dentures

How a denture from your dentist in Roseville, Minnesota can give you back your smile.

If you have been living without teeth, you already know how difficult it is to chew and enjoy your food. You also know how not being able to smile can impact your life and your self-confidence. It’s time to get your smile and chewing ability back with dentures.

Dr. Tamara Simons at Roseville Dentistry in Roseville, Minnesota offers a wide range of dental services, including providing dentures to give you back your smile.

Today’s dentures look natural and provide excellent chewing ability, so you can enjoy the foods you love. You will be proud to show off your smile when you choose the right denture.

Consider these types of dentures:

A full denture, which is what you need if you are missing an entire arch of teeth. You can choose an upper or lower denture, or both dentures, to achieve a great smile. Full dentures are available in a few types:

An immediate denture, which you receive immediately after your teeth are removed; immediate dentures are convenient because you never have to go without your smile. A conventional denture will be made for you after your tissue has healed completely.

A conventional denture, which you receive after your tissue has healed completely; conventional dentures are advantageous because you only have to get used to wearing one denture.

An implant-supported denture, which gives you the benefit of a denture and implants; implant-supported dentures help conserve and maintain the bone in your jaw, which can reduce facial sagging.

If you are missing only a few teeth, but not an entire arch, you need a partial denture. These come in a few types also: A transitional partial denture, which is considered a temporary solution while you are waiting for dental implants; these are an economical way to restore chewing function before implant treatment.

A conventional partial denture, which is meant to be a permanent solution if you are not planning on dental implants; conventional partials can give you years of dependable tooth replacement.

You don't have to live without your smile. A denture can restore your smile and your self-confidence. To find out more about dentures and the denture process, call Dr. Tamara Simons of Roseville Dentistry in Roseville, Minnesota at (651) 489-1900. Call today.
