Dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth. Total Care Dental creates full and partial dentures to improve the smiles and oral health of our patients. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all teeth. Our comprehensive dentists will measure your mouth and have customized dentures made, ensuring total comfort and functionality.
Restoring Seniors' Bright Smiles with Full & Partial DenturesA denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Madison's Total Care Dental provides effective dental restoration services to improve your smile and oral health with dentures. Customized dentures are made by measuring your mouth, ensuring total comfort and functionality. Two types of dentures are available – partial and complete.
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to replace all teeth to restore your smile and mouth function. Dentures are designed to resemble and take place of your natural teeth so there are no noticeable changes to your appearance.
Complete dentures are removable and may require adjustments to create a proper fit with the gums and mouth. They are used by patients who have no remaining teeth on the top and bottom of their mouth as a result of disease, aging, or trauma.
Without teeth, cheeks and lips may sink inward to a withdrawn appearance around your mouth. Speaking may also be difficult. Total Dental Care creates dentures to improve your ability to eat and speak while making your mouth look great. Complete dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth, whether for the top, bottom, or both rows of your teeth.
A removable partial denture is a device used when one or more natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. Replacement teeth are attached to a gum-colored plastic base held in place in the mouth by special clips or clasps. Unlike complete dentures, these are used to replace only a few teeth on the top, front, back or bottom of the mouth, similar to a dental bridge. Partial dentures offer similar benefits to complete dentures, enhancing your self-esteem and confidence.
In most cases, another tooth can be added to partial dentures when the loss of a natural tooth occurs. It is generally easier to repair partial dentures when they are broken compared to full dentures.
If you are missing all of your teeth, discuss the option of dental implants over-dentures with our dentists. Implant over-dentures connect to two implants surgically placed into the jaw bone. The implants keep the dentures securely in place during oral activities such as eating and talking, yet still, allow for easy removal for cleaning.
Dentures with implants and our four life changing implants are very secure when custom fit at TCD. New dentures may feel awkward or loose for the first few weeks until the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. Although this may require some practice, you will enjoy the benefits of having a full mouth of teeth.
While dentures are mostly used to restore smiles, they can improve your overall appearance. Before getting your partial dentures made, you’ll want to address any other cosmetic issues. Our in-office whitening can make your current teeth sparkle and perfectly match the color of your new dentures.
Additional cosmetic dentistry procedures include veneers, Invisalign clear braces, and contouring.
Dentures are just one option for replacing missing teeth. Implants, crowns, and bridges can replace multiple teeth but differ from partial dentures since they cannot be removed once installed. If you have lost most of your adult teeth, partial and complete dentures will likely be your best choice.
Our Madison dentists will examine your mouth to determine which replacement option is best for you. Read more about alternative teeth replacement options from Total Care Dental.
It is a common misconception that only the elderly use dentures. There are many reasons people of all ages lose their teeth. Injury, disease, and genetics can cause teeth to fall out prematurely and require replacement. Car accidents and sports injuries have also led many younger individuals to get removable partial dentures. The expertly crafted dentures made by Total Care Dental will look just like your natural teeth, letting you enjoy your smile without being self-conscious.
Another common misconception about dentures is that they don’t need to be brushed. Dentures must be cleaned and cared for just like your regular teeth. This includes daily brushing, flossing and dental exams. The Madison dental team of TCD will help you properly care for your new dentures to keep your entire mouth healthy.
The cost of replacing all your teeth with dentures can be daunting. TCD wants everyone to have a beautiful and healthy smile, which is why we offer many payment options for our patients.
