Dentures
Did you know that dentures have been around for thousands of years? From animal teeth to ivory and even human teeth (yikes!), people have been using dentures to restore their smiles and improve their ability to eat and speak for centuries. Modern dentures are made of durable materials customized to fit your unique mouth shape and bite, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. At CloudView Dental in Hobbs, NM, our professionals provide our patients with high-quality dentures that look and feel natural.
What are Dentures?
Dentists design dentures as removable oral appliances to replace missing teeth and restore the functionality and appearance of your smile. They craft dentures using high-quality materials that mimic the natural look of teeth and gums. Dentures can replace either a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or an entire arch of missing teeth (complete dentures).
Customized Denture Solutions
At CloudView Dental, we understand that each patient has unique dental needs and goals. We offer personalized denture solutions to ensure the best fit, comfort, and aesthetics. Our skilled dentists will work closely with you to determine the most suitable denture option based on your oral health, jaw structure, and desired outcome.
Partial Dentures: We use partial dentures when you have some natural teeth remaining. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which connects to a metal framework or precision attachments. Partial dentures restore your smile and help maintain the alignment of your existing teeth, preventing them from shifting.
Complete Dentures: We use complete dentures when all teeth in an arch are missing. They consist of a full set of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base. Complete dentures can be further classified into two types: conventional dentures and immediate dentures.
Conventional Dentures: Dentists fabricate and place conventional dentures after removing any remaining teeth and allowing the gums to heal. This healing process typically takes a few weeks.
Immediate Dentures: Dentists prepare and place immediate dentures right after extracting the remaining teeth. Immediate dentures eliminate the need to be without teeth during the healing period. However, they may require more adjustments as the gums and jawbone change shape during healing.
Implant-Supported Dentures: For patients seeking a more stable and secure denture option, CloudView Dental also offers implant-supported dentures. These dentures are anchored using dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures provide improved stability, enhanced chewing ability, and a natural feel, making them an excellent choice for those who desire a more permanent tooth replacement solution.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer numerous benefits for patients with missing teeth, including:
- Restored Functionality: Dentures allow you to bite, chew, and speak with improved ease and confidence, enabling you to enjoy your favorite foods and engage in social activities without concerns about missing teeth.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Dentures resemble natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile and restoring facial aesthetics.
- Improved Self-Confidence: By replacing missing teeth, dentures can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence, allowing you to smile, speak, and interact with others more comfortably.
- Facial Structure Support: Dentures support your facial muscles, preventing the sagging and sunken appearance that can occur when teeth are missing.
- Customized Solutions: Dentures are tailored to meet your needs, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal functionality.
- Versatility: Dentures can be easily removed for cleaning, making oral hygiene routines simple and effective.
