Partials & Dentures

Are you missing teeth in the mouth and wish to restore your smile to its original beauty? If so, there are several ways you can go about getting a beautiful smile and perfect teeth – including dentures. Dentures are one of the most cost-effective ways to get the smile you love and have always wanted. They look like your natural teeth and complement your appearance, so you can feel increased confidence and joy.

Why You May Consider Dentures

Many Apex Dental patients end up getting dentures when they have teeth missing from their mouth. Dentures are made of strong materials that allow them to handle chewing and speaking without breaking or becoming damaged. You may even qualify for implant supported dentures, which give your teeth a secure and permanent structure to hold on to for years.
You don’t have to live with a partial smile if you speak with your dental professional about how dentures can help you. There are two main types of dentures – partial as well as complete dentures.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures may be recommended by your Chicago dentist if you are missing one or more of your teeth and it affects the pressure of your bite. Your teeth may move out of alignment, resulting in a change in the appearance and functionality of teeth. The soft tissues in the mouth as well as supporting jawbone may also begin to degenerate, resulting in the facial muscles collapsing.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are used when patients are missing a full arch of teeth in the mouth. With complete dentures, your entire smile can be transformed with one or two dental visits. You can either have immediate dentures, which are installed right after all remaining teeth have been extracted from the mouth, or conventional dentures that are placed after the mouth has healed. Wither both options, your dentist will work hard to make sure your teeth look natural and beautiful.
