Why Dentures Are A Great Choice:

Dentures can help you love your smile again. Of course, dentures improve the appearance of a smile with missing teeth, but it is also important to note that dentures save the structure of the smile by supporting the remaining teeth and the structures around the cheeks and lips. This is a foundational reason to choose dentures, but there are more advantages:

• Dentures make it easier to chew.
• Dentures can replace teeth that are causing pain or contributing to oral health issues.
• Dentures can help with confidence, career opportunities and emotional wellbeing.

Types Of Dentures The Team At Southern Dental Specializes In:

• Fixed Dentures - Fixed dentures may be a perfect solution for you if you have lost, or will soon have an entire arch of teeth removed, on the top or bottom of the mouth. They are fixed to the mouth using implants and are not removable. Doctors and patients alike prefer fixed over removable dentures because they look, feel and function like natural teeth, don't slip, help prevent jawbone loss and last potentially for a lifetime.

• Denture Stabilization - If you have had denture for an extended period of time, you may be experiencing a loss of bone structure. This bone structure is needed to support the soft tissue in your mouth. This condition can create discomfort as well as difficulty speaking or chewing. Denture stabilization is a great solution to this challenge. Here’s how denture stabilization works:
  • Your dentist places two and four implants in an arch.
  • The dentist then affixes your dentures with snap-on attachments.
  • Two implants are the minimum number needed, but more can be used for more stability.
• Traditional Dentures - Traditional Dentures help the patient who has lost all of their teeth with cosmetic concerns as well as functionality related to eating and speaking. Traditional dentures can be one of the most cost-effective choices as compared to other teeth replacement options. With traditional dentures, the full upper denture will cover the entire palate of the upper mouth, then attach via suction to the soft tissues of the mouth create an airtight seal. If needed on the lower jaw, the same process would be repeated.
