Treatment Types

There are many different ways to create a denture that will work for you. By definition, a denture is an appliance that is removable. This being said, they will never be able to replace the feeling of your natural teeth, because they move!

A standard denture is a treatment which is still offered nowadays, but it really is a treatment of the past. Standard dentures are not fixed in the mouths, they are moved easily when chewing or speaking, and they will cause your mouth to experience further and faster bone loss than other treatments.

It is important to remember that the bone structures in your mouth support your face. As they disappear, so will your youthful looks, as well as the ability to support the denture and chew your meals.

The best treatment is a denture supported by implants.

Implants are small titanium posts that are placed into the bone structure by a surgeon in a very short appointment. Most patients agree that implant placements is less a fuss than having their teeth removed.

In cases where the remaining teeth are being extracted, the implants can be placed into the bone at the same time, resulting in only one surgery.

Denture implants are the closest option to your natural teeth. The firm implant support allows them to function as your teeth should. The implant is in the bone, supporting and exercising your jaw so bone resorption occurs much slower. The option helps to keep your gums and facial features where they are!
