Dentures
Missing most or all of your natural teeth can significantly affect your oral function, not to mention your sense of self-esteem.
Redlands Family Dentistry can help. Our natural-looking dentures can restore your ability to eat and speak with confidence.
Dr. Frederick Hoffer in Redlands, CA, can provide traditional or implant-supported dentures to restore your smile.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are artificial teeth that can replace some or all of your missing natural teeth. Our Redlands dentist can craft two types of dentures depending on your needs.
Partial dentures replace several missing teeth along a dental arch.
Complete dentures, also known as full dentures, can replace an entire arch of missing teeth.
Take a Closer Look at Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill in the gaps left by missing teeth. They are secured in place by your remaining natural teeth. With a restored bite, you can eat and speak properly once more.
Traditional vs. Implant-Supported Dentures
We can provide both partial and complete dentures that are either removable or supported by dental implants. There are a few key differences that set traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures apart.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable and rest along the gums. This type of denture relies on suction or denture adhesive to remain securely in place. While traditional dentures are still a great way to replace missing teeth, there is a risk of slippage when you eat or speak.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are secured directly to dental implants. Dental implants are titanium posts that act as prosthetic tooth roots. Your dentures will remain firmly in place at all times and only need to be removed by a dentist for an exam or replacement.
Dental implants are the only restorative dentistry solution that can stop and prevent the jawbone deterioration that occurs with tooth loss. Implants act as artificial tooth roots and stimulate your jawbone to keep it healthy. During your initial consultation at our Redlands, CA, dental practice, your dentist can help you determine whether a denture supported by implants is right for you.
