Partial and Complete Dentures

Dentures can greatly improve your overall health and well-being in several ways. Here are a few reasons why getting dentures is a good decision for your health:

1. Improved Nutrition: Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew certain foods, leading to a limited and unbalanced diet. Dentures can restore the ability to enjoy a wide variety of foods, allowing for better nutrition and a healthier diet.
2. Improved Speech: Missing teeth can also affect speech, causing slurred or unclear speech. Dentures can help to restore clear speech and improve confidence when speaking in public.
3. Improved Appearance: Dentures can give you a more youthful appearance by filling in sunken cheeks and lips caused by missing teeth. This can improve self-esteem and confidence, leading to a better quality of life.
4. Improved Oral Health: Dentures can prevent remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and jaw joint pain. Dentures can also help to maintain the shape of the jaw, preventing changes that can cause an aged appearance.

At Liberty Dental, we offer both complete and partial dentures as a way to restore your smile and your confidence.

What are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures are a full set of artificial teeth that are used to replace all of the natural teeth in an upper or lower jaw. Complete dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth and are held in place by suction or denture adhesive.

What are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are a set of artificial teeth that are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Partial dentures are attached to a metal or plastic framework that is anchored to your remaining natural teeth.

The Procedure for Getting Dentures

Getting dentures is a multi-step process that involves several appointments with our dental team. During your initial appointment, we’ll take impressions of your mouth and use them to create a custom-fit denture.

Once your denture is ready, we’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure that it fits comfortably and securely. You may experience some discomfort or soreness during the adjustment period, but our dental team will provide you with instructions on how to manage this.
