At First Light Dental of Coastal Virginia, Dr. William Harper and our experienced team are dedicated to restoring smiles and improving oral health through advanced restorative dentistry treatments. If you have missing teeth, dentures could play a crucial role in revitalizing the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
Types of Dentures
Full
Full dentures are custom-made prosthetic devices that replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They consist of acrylic bases that mimic gum tissue and artificial teeth crafted to match the patient’s natural tooth color.
Complete dentures offer numerous advantages, including improved chewing ability for better digestion, enhanced speech clarity, and restored facial appearance by filling out the cheeks.
Our skilled prosthodontists take precise measurements and impressions during multiple appointments to ensure a secure fit. As the gums reshape over time, regular adjustments may be necessary.
Partial
If you still retain some healthy natural teeth but have gaps due to missing teeth, partial dentures could be an ideal solution. Partial dentures work to bridge the gap between your remaining natural teeth while preventing them from shifting position. We use durable materials combined with high-quality artificial teeth to create aesthetically pleasing partial dentures that could blend seamlessly with your smile.
Implant-Supported
If a traditional removable denture seem inconvenient or unstable, consider implant-supported dentures. Implants offer unmatched stability as they securely integrate with your jawbone structure, providing increased biting force during eating. We meticulously plan each phase involving dental implant placement, followed by attaching a customized overdenture compatible with these implants for maximum comfort.
