Dentures Dentures have been used for centuries to replace multiple teeth that are missing. While the dentures of old used to be made out of everything from wood to animal teeth, today's modern dentures made by Riverstone Dental Group are close to indistinguishable from real teeth. What Are Complete Dentures?Complete dentures are the most efficient way of restoring a whole arch. This is more common than you might think. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, there are more than 30 million Americans missing all of their teeth. For many of them, complete dentures have provided a way for them to once again smile, chat, laugh, and eat just like they used to. You do not need to be missing all of your teeth for complete dentures. Many patients will only receive their dentures after first having their unhealthy teeth extracted. What Are Partial Dentures?Dentures are an incredibly flexible dental appliance. While most people think of dentures as only the complete version, we also offer partial dentures for patients that still have healthy teeth. Partial dentures are very adaptable, and we can likely make one perfect for your mouth. Whether you are missing teeth on just one side of your mouth or both sides, whether you are missing a handful of teeth or nearly all of them, a partial denture can fill in the gaps without anyone ever noticing. Why We Recommend DenturesWe recommend dentures because no one should have to go through life without a full set of teeth. We use our teeth every single day, from chewing our food, to helping us talk, to looking great in pictures. Dentures are an affordable and accessible way to achieve this. As one of the oldest dental appliances, dentures have also benefitted from the numerous advancements in dental technology in recent years. While traditional dentures that suction to your gums for stability are still very popular, and the most affordable option, modern dentures can also be mounted on implants. While many patients are not good candidates for dental implants, for those who do qualify the additional stability and long-term health benefits are truly the best way to experience dentures. How We Place DenturesPlacing dentures will take a little time to ensure that we get the right fit. The last thing we want is dentures that fit in your mouth poorly, are uncomfortable, or make it difficult for you to do the very things that dentures are supposed to allow again. We start with a series of molds, trying them out in your mouth and making refinements until we find the perfect fit. Once we have it, we will send that mold to a laboratory that will manufacture your permanent, high-quality prosthetic. Once we have it, we can then make any final adjustments. Do You Need Dentures?If you are missing multiple teeth, especially if you are missing an entire arch, then complete or partial dentures from Riverstone Dental Group may be able to help you.
