Your personal and professional connections are important considerations regardless of your age. Your smile can contribute to those connections and can be a tremendous self-confidence booster – or a self-confidence defeater.
If you have decayed or missing teeth replacing them is vitally important – to improve your appearance and smile and also because without proper dental support, the muscles in your face sag and droop, making you look older than you actually are.
Dentures are a time-tested solution for missing and decayed teeth – they can open the door to a whole new life for you, boost your self-confidence and help you speak and eat more comfortably. And the good news is: denture expertise and procedures are vastly improved from years past.
Dentures may be Full or Partial depending on each patient’s unique needs.
- Full dentures have a flesh-colored acrylic base that fits over your gums. The upper denture covers the the roof of your mouth; the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate your tongue.
- Partial dentures rest on a metal framework that attaches to your natural teeth. Sometimes crowns are placed on some of your natural teeth and serve as anchors. Partial dentures are a removable alternative to dental bridges.
- At Taylor Street Dental, we can help you choose the best type of denture for your unique needs – we may even combine implants with your dentures. This is a newer technology that uses implants to anchor your dentures for a tight, secure fit.
- Your dentures will be custom-made by highly skilled technicians, using the finest materials available, guided by impressions taken of your mouth.
- Your new dentures may feel a little awkward for the first few weeks. Eating and speaking may take some practice, while the muscles of your cheeks and tongue learn to hold your dentures in place.
- Although they take a bit of getting used to, today’s dentures are amazingly natural looking and more comfortable than ever.
