Dentures are a time-honored solution for individuals facing the challenge of multiple missing teeth. At Minorca Smiles, we understand the profound impact that losing teeth can have on one’s quality of life, affecting everything from the ability to enjoy favorite foods to feeling confident in social situations. This is why we are committed to providing denture options that help restore not only the functionality of your bite but also the aesthetics of your smile.
There are two main types of dentures available: complete and partial dentures.
Complete dentures are designed for individuals who have lost all their teeth in one or both jaws. These dentures replace the entire set of teeth, resting snugly over the gums. Our experienced dentist might recommend complete dentures to those looking to regain a full and vibrant smile. To ensure a secure fit, we sometimes advise the use of denture adhesives.
Partial dentures, on the other hand, are ideal for patients who still retain some of their natural teeth. These dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and are secured in place with clasps or a thin framework that attaches to the remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures not only help in restoring dental functionality but also prevent the remaining teeth from shifting into the gaps, maintaining the integrity of your dental structure.
Choosing between complete and partial dentures will depend on your specific dental needs, which our dentist will assess with great care. Regardless of which type of dentures you receive, your appliance will be custom-crafted to fit your mouth perfectly, ensuring comfort, functionality and a natural appearance.
Here are some of the benefits of opting for dentures:
- Improved Chewing Ability: Dentures can significantly enhance your ability to chew, allowing you to enjoy a wider range of foods.
- Speech Improvement: Missing teeth can impair your speech. Dentures help in restoring your speech clarity.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Dentures are made to look natural, thereby boosting your confidence with a beautiful smile.
- Facial Structure Support: Missing teeth can lead to facial sagging. Dentures provide the necessary support to maintain your facial volume.
We are dedicated to making the process of getting dentures as seamless and comfortable as possible. From the initial consultation to the final fitting, our dentist and team will ensure that your journey towards a restored smile is supported at every step.
