Get A Smile You Can Love
If you are missing teeth, dentures may be a great dental treatment option for you. For many with more severe dental problems, dentures can drastically improve their quality of life. They increase your ability to eat what you want, avoid future dental procedures, and can help restore confidence in a way that few other things do.
The Many Benefits of Dentures:
- They can replace all of your teeth at once
- If you have healthy teeth remaining, partial dentures can be applied
- Dentures can help keep you looking young, and distinguished
- Dentures are much easier to care for than real, decaying teeth
- Along with tooth extraction, they help lower your chances of oral infection
Get Your Smile Back
At Bluff Creek Dental in Chanhassen, we make it a priority to help you select the best dental options to restore your oral health's function and help you live better on the day-to-day. This includes dental treatments to help you with many different types of dentures.
Denture technology has advanced considerably. They have become more natural looking, and comfortable than ever before.
If you have questions about whether or not you may be a candidate for a certain type of denture, our experienced dental staff can answer any questions you may have pertaining to dental treatment and other cosmetic dental options.
Full Dentures
Full dentures include both an upper and lower set. While your upper denture will include a plate that will cover the roof of your mouth, your lower denture will be a horseshoe shape that will allow you to move your tongue and speak freely. Full dentures include replacement teeth for both your upper and lower teeth. Both are fitted into acrylic arches made to look just like your gums.
Removable Partial Dentures
A removable partial denture is a custom appliance we can provide you with to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures will often be fabricated to include a clasp to attach to natural teeth. This clasp makes your partial dentures easily removable and allows for easier dental cleaning.
When determining if you're a good candidate for a removable partial denture, our local dentists will look at your mouth and may recommend adding dental crowns on your natural teeth to improve the fit of your dentures.
Implant Supported Dentures
Our experienced dentists have been trained in the latest restorative dental techniques, this includes dental implants. Using dental implant technology we are able to go one step further and provide implant-supported dentures. While a regular removable set of dentures typically rests on the gums, an implant-supported denture is attached to implants, securely placed in a healthy jaw. Implant supported dentures are often the preferred dental treatment of those missing all of their teeth.
Denture Repairs and Realignments
If you have had your dentures for a while, it's common for your mouth to begin to change shape. Over time, your jaw bones naturally shrink, and your dentures may not fit as well as they did in the past. Poorly fitting dentures can cause problems that can include mouth sores and gum problems. While our dentists in Chanhassen recommend replacing your dentures every 5-7 years, if you are experiencing ill-fitting denture issues, we can help you determine if they may be in need of replacement or may simply need a repair.
