Dentures are considered one of the most reliable forms of dental care because of their ability to successfully restore the visual appearance and use of a person’s smile. Dentists have relied on these prosthetics to rebuild incomplete rows of teeth and full arches for centuries, and although the materials have changed, the goal remains the same – to replace missing teeth. At Family Dental Care of Rogers, Dr. Gammenthaler can help you enjoy life once again with a complete smile, so if you’re ready to eat and speak with ease, schedule a consultation with our office today.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Capable of replacing multiple missing teeth along an arch or an entire upper or lower row, dentures remain highly versatile when it comes to tooth replacement. If you are missing one or more teeth and prefer a non-surgical way to restore your smile, dentures may just be the right solution for you.

The only way to find out is to meet with Dr. Gammenthaler for a consultation. He will examine your mouth and take images for further treatment planning. He’ll also determine if you have any existing oral health problems, such as dental decay, gum disease, etc., that require pre-denture treatment.

Types of Dentures?

Your dentist in Rogers will determine the type of denture you need. They will decide after considering the number of teeth you are missing, your preference for removable or fixed prosthetics, and your budget.

Partial Dentures

A partial denture consists of an acrylic base that is matched to your natural gum color, porcelain teeth that sit atop the base, and a metal framework. The clasps that are attached to the partial will anchor to regular healthy teeth, ensuring the partial denture remains in place so that you can freely eat, speak, and smile.

Full Dentures

A full denture consists of the same materials as a partial; however, it does not include any metal components. These prosthetic teeth stay in place with the help of denture adhesive and natural suction. Once comfortably inside your mouth, you can begin to eat more nutritious foods and smile with greater confidence than before.

Implant Dentures

Choosing an implant denture means pursuing a surgical method of tooth replacement. Crafted to appear lifelike once secured in place, it sits atop 4-6 dental implant posts that are positioned within the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the bone and establish a firm base for your new smile – one that can potentially last decades.

The Benefits of Dentures

Enjoying life with a complete smile is often enough of a benefit for most patients; however, there are many others that you can expect when you choose dentures to restore your smile. These include:

  • The preservation of your facial features by filling out the areas affected by tooth loss
  • The ability to eat nutritious food with ease
  • An easy-to-clean prosthetic that can be removable (partial or full denture) or be maintained just like your natural teeth (implant dentures)
  • No more slurred speech when trying to talk to others
  • Full and partial dentures can last 7-10 years, while implant dentures can last 30+ years
  • Better confidence in the way you look
