What are dentures?

Dentures are a restorative solution that replaces some or all of the teeth in your mouth. They’re a removable prosthetic made up of a gum-colored base that holds artificial teeth, which are usually made from porcelain or composite resin.

Dentures have improved vastly over the past few years. Today’s dentures feel more comfortable, look more natural, and give you an even more beautiful smile. Advanced Dentistry of New York uses AvaDent™ digital dentures to create a set of dentures that conforms to your mouth and provides you with maximum comfort.

What are the benefits of dentures?

By replacing your missing teeth, dentures offer a variety of benefits, like:

  • Making it easier for you to chew
  • Improving your ability to speak
  • Restoring the natural volume of your face
  • Enhancing the overall beauty of your smile

Dentures also improve your confidence, rejuvenate your appearance, and give you one of the most important communication tools you have: your smile.

Are there different types of dentures?

Yes, dentures come in a variety of forms, depending on your particular needs.

If you’re only replacing a few teeth in your mouth and still have healthy natural teeth that you want to keep, you get partial dentures. The artificial teeth in partial dentures are secured to clasps or a thin framework that attaches to your natural teeth. With partial dentures, your artificial teeth and your natural teeth work side-by-side to give you a beautiful, full smile.

If you’re replacing all of the teeth in one or both of your dental arches, you get complete dentures. Complete upper dentures and complete lower dentures are typically held in place by a suction mechanism, but your dentist might also give you denture adhesive to improve the stability of your dentures.

Advanced Dentistry of New York also offers implant-supported dentures, which connect to dental implants that your dentist or oral surgeon surgically embeds in your jaw bone. Dental implants function just like artificial tooth roots and make your dentures even more stable, while also providing healthy stimulation to your jaw bone.
