Dentures at Signature Smiles of Park Ridge, are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom made to fit your mouth comfortably and can restore both the function and aesthetics of your teeth. Dentures come in two main types: complete dentures and partial dentures.
Complete dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing. They can be either "conventional" or "immediate."
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Dentures and partial dentures can provide numerous benefits, including:
Dentures can restore your smile and fill out the appearance of your face and profile, which can sag and look sunken due to tooth loss.
Dentures improve your ability to eat and speak, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and communicate clearly.
Dentures support the muscles in your face, which can prevent a sunken appearance and help you look more youthful.
With a full set of teeth, you can smile with confidence and engage in social activities without feeling self-conscious.
Partial dentures can prevent remaining teeth from shifting and causing further dental problems.
