In fact, there are a variety of different types of dentures that can help you regain your confident, complete smile. Read on to learn more about your denture options and how to tell which one might be right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic image of a complete arch of artificial teeth is known as a full denture. They\u2019re crafted out of biocompatible materials that closely resemble the appearance of healthy, natural enamel and gum tissue. The custom-made base fits snugly on top of the gums, which forms a natural seal that holds it in place while you talk and eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of denture is a great option for those who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are missing all their upper and\/or lower teeth.<\/li><li>Want to replace their missing teeth right away.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partial Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Partial dentures are very similar to full dentures, except that they\u2019re designed to only replace a few missing teeth. They utilize the same acrylic, gum-colored type of base that sits on top of the gums, but only include teeth in the spaces that need to be filled. Unfortunately, this means that they can\u2019t be held in place by a seal. Instead, they\u2019re secured by metal clasps that have been attached to the other healthy teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partial dentures are a good choice for those who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are missing more teeth than can be replaced by a dental bridge.<\/li><li>Still have plenty of healthy teeth alongside the gaps in their smile.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Options That Include Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dentures are a traditional and quick method to restore your pearly whites, they are only able to replace a missing tooth above the gumline. Underneath, a natural tooth\u2019s roots stimulate blood flow in the jawbone and keep it healthy. Without this support, the bone tissue begins to deteriorate, which can cause the jaw to shrink and the facial features to shift. Thankfully, if you have enough bone tissue still present, you can mimic your missing tooth\u2019s roots with the help of a dental implant. There are two main types of dentures that include dental implants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mini dental implants: <\/strong>These are small titanium posts that can be inserted into the sockets of your missing teeth. They\u2019ll fuse with your jawbone to create a firm, lasting foundation in your mouth. Then, your denture is secured simply by snapping it into place. Since mini implants don\u2019t require true dental surgery, they\u2019re a very quick and comfortable procedure.<\/li><li><strong>Implant-retained dentures: <\/strong>For the most permanent, functional, and comfortable replacement, you may want to choose implant-retained dentures. This method involves using dental implants to hold your denture in place for a lifetime with options like the four-post solution or bar-clip solution. While this procedure may take longer than other replacements, it offers an array of unique benefits in the long run.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, you have several options when it comes to restoring your pearly whites with dentures. Talk to your Los Angeles dentist to discover which option is best for you and your unique smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Les Latner of Westside Dental Associates has been keeping the smiles of Los Angeles, CA happy and healthy for over 30 years now.
