What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures are removable, full-arch prosthetic devices that are custom-crafted to replace all of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw. The following is a look at the complete denture options we offer right here at our Chicago practice:
Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are created ahead of time and placed right after extracting any remaining failing teeth, completing your smile the very same day. However, the gum and bone tissues will change in shape as the area heals, which is why most patients require relining and adjustments within a month or two. Immediate dentures are typically used as healing dentures until your mouth is ready for conventional dentures, usually after 6-12 months.
Conventional Dentures: Conventional dentures are meticulously crafted from impressions of your smile after your mouth has fully healed, taking into account every subtle detail of your ridge, gums, and bite. These durable restorations provide the best possible fit, comfort, and function, offering an excellent solution for replacing damaged dentures or transitioning from immediate ones. Our custom dentures are fabricated from the highest-quality materials, delivering long-term beautiful and functional smiles.
Implant-Supported Dentures: If you are looking for a more secure option to restore your complete smile, you may want to consider implant-supported dentures. These gold-standard restorations snap onto as few as two implants per entire arch, providing exceptional stability and comfort. They are an excellent choice for your lower jaw, where traditional dentures tend to feel less stable and secure. Your new restorations will look, feel, and function like natural teeth, delivering exceptional stability and function.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removable oral prosthetics that are custom-crafted to replace one or several teeth when some healthy, natural teeth remain. At River Village Dental, we offer various partial denture options to meet your unique needs, including the following:
Traditional Partials: Traditional partials are sturdy and long-lasting, providing a long-term solution to restore your smile. They consist of prosthetic teeth and pink acrylic attached to a metal framework that attach to your natural teeth using metal or tooth-colored clasps.
Flexible Partials: Flexible partials are custom-crafted from a lightweight, metal-free material that easily adapts to the shape of your mouth. They offer an excellent solution for patients wanting a more comfortable and aesthetic solution to restore their smiles.
All-Acrylic Partials: All-acrylic partials are created from an acrylic resin material, providing a cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are often used as a temporary measure while waiting for a more permanent tooth replacement solution.
What Are the Benefits of Dentures and Partials?
Complete and partial dentures provide numerous benefits, including the following:
- They offer a natural-looking solution to restore your complete smile.
- They help you speak more clearly and enjoy a wider variety of your favorite foods.
- They are generally more cost-effective than other tooth replacement options like dental bridges or implants.
- Partial dentures keep any remaining teeth from shifting out of place, preserving the alignment of your teeth and bite.
- Your new complete or partial denture can last for many years with proper care.
