If you have lost multiple teeth, dentures offer a reliable and natural-looking solution to restore your smile. These custom-made removable appliances can help you regain the ability to eat, speak and smile with ease and confidence. Whether you are missing several teeth or an entire arch, dentures in Richmond, Mechanicsville, Atlee and Goochland, Virginia, are designed to improve both your oral function and your overall appearance.
Complete & Partial Dentures
There are two primary types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing. These dentures rest directly on the gums and are crafted to provide a snug, comfortable fit. Depending on your needs, our dentists may recommend using a denture adhesive to provide additional stability throughout the day.
Partial dentures are an excellent option if you still have some natural teeth remaining. These appliances are built on a lightweight, durable framework that includes clasps or connectors that anchor to your existing teeth. This design keeps the partial denture secure while filling in the spaces left by missing teeth.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures do more than just fill in the gaps in your smile. They are essential for maintaining the shape of your face, preventing your facial muscles from sagging over time. With well-fitted dentures, you can enjoy your favorite foods again and speak clearly without difficulty. Dentures also help to distribute bite pressure evenly, which can prevent strain on your remaining teeth and jaw joints.
