If you are missing most or all of your teeth, there are many good options for tooth replacement such as dentures, dental implants and hybrid dentures.
Dentures are custom made replacements for missing teeth that help to improve your appearance and smile. Without support from the denture, facial muscles can sag, making a person look older. Dentures can help you eat and speak more comfortably. They rest on your gums and are supported by the bone underneath the gums. Today’s dentures are more natural looking and comfortable than in the past. Good news! There are now improved options for denture wearers to have a more beautiful, natural looking smile without having to worry about a denture becoming loose or moving around in the mouth. Dental implants have ‘changed the game’ for denture wearers. Dental implants provide many benefits by preventing further bone loss which can cause premature aging that can result from wearing traditional dentures over time.
A dental implant supported denture can be made when a person does not have any teeth in the upper and lower jaws but does have enough bone in the jaws to support implants. There are dentures that can be ‘snapped’ onto the implants for a more stable and realistic look and feel. These kinds of dentures must be removed for cleaning and maintenance. Another very popular denture is the hybrid implant denture that is fixed into place and NOT removable. People report that it feels like “getting their teeth back” because it looks more lifelike and does not have to be removed daily for cleaning. At Beach View Family Dental, we offer many options for replacing your teeth so that you can have a beautiful smile!
