What Are the Benefits of Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures are a time-tested solution for patients missing all their teeth in their upper or lower jaw or both. Dr. Ibrahem and his team at Cream City Dental are pleased to offer custom-crafted denture solutions to improve your smile’s function and enhance your quality of life. Here’s all you need to know about complete dentures and the benefits they offer for your smile.

What Are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures are oral prosthetic devices designed to replace all your teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are made up of gum-colored bases that hold natural-looking artificial teeth in place. Today’s complete dentures are nothing like the bulky, fake-looking ones of the past. They are much sleeker, lighter, more comfortable, and more natural-looking than ever before.

What Are Your Complete Denture Options?

At Cream City Dental, we offer two main types of complete dentures: immediate and conventional.

  • Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are created ahead of time and placed after removing any remaining failing teeth. However, the bone and gums will change in shape as the area heals, so your dentures will need adjustments and relining to continue providing a comfortable fit.
  • Conventional Dentures: Conventional dentures are created from impressions of your teeth after extracting any remaining teeth and waiting for your mouth to heal, which typically takes a few months. These high-quality tooth replacements take into account every subtle detail of your gums and ridge, providing the best possible fit, comfort, and function.

What Are the Benefits of Restoring Your Smile with Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures offer numerous benefits, including the following:

  • They Look Natural: Your new dentures will look like your natural teeth, enhancing your smile and your confidence.
  • They Are Customized: Complete dentures are customized to the shape of your mouth, providing the best possible fit and optimal function.
  • They Support Your Facial Structure: Complete dentures support your facial muscles, preventing the sunken, hollow appearance that typically follows tooth loss.
  • They Restore Chewing Function: With your new restorations, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods, promoting better nutrition and enhancing your health.
  • They Improve Speech: Restoring your smile helps enhance the clarity of your speech, preventing the slurring that often occurs due to tooth loss.
  • They Are Easy to Maintain: Simply rinse your complete dentures after meals, brush them like your teeth with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser, and soak them in a denture solution overnight.
  • They Are Cost-Effective: Dentures are the most budget-friendly tooth replacement solution and are covered by most dental insurance plans.
  • They Are Durable: We create dentures from the highest quality materials, ensuring they enhance your smile for many years to come.
