Types of Dentures

Dentures are dental appliances that can behave as either a full or partial set of teeth in one or more areas of your mouth. They can be a great way to restore your smile to its natural state, making you feel better and more confident. When it comes to dentures, there are several different options out there. Let’s take a look at the different types of dentures in Jupiter.

Full Dentures

Complete, or full dentures replace all of a patient’s teeth. Prior to fitting, the dentist will remove any teeth that are still remaining in the mouth. Complete dentures are typically placed within 8-12 weeks after the teeth have been removed/extracted.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are perfect for when only a few teeth need to be replaced. They help to prevent the other teeth from moving and are made from all-acrylic or acrylic material. Partial dentures are completely removable, making them convenient to take out whenever you need to.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are attached to implants in the jawbone that extend outward from the gums. A dentist surgically fits these implants over the course of one or more visits, and they remain in place.

Snap-in Dentures

Snap-in dentures are an excellent option when it comes to stability. They are held securely in place with the help of dental implants or anchors onto the existing teeth.
