Dentures and Partial Dentures

Is your smile suffering because you are missing teeth? Missing one or more teeth is more than just annoying or inconvenient; it can also take a toll on your oral and overall health. Missing teeth can make simple, everyday tasks, like eating and speaking, very difficult. One of the most common solutions for missing teeth is dentures. Dentures at Archbold Family Dental can restore your smile and get your oral health back on track.

Dentures are a convenient and trusted option for replacing missing teeth. They are removable appliances composed of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base. They are custom-made for your mouth and adjusted over time to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible.

Complete dentures are a good treatment option if you are missing most or all of your teeth. Complete dentures come in several varieties. The two most common are conventional and immediate.

Conventional dentures are made specifically for your mouth after all your teeth have been removed and your gums have healed.

Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be used right away after any necessary extractions have been done. Immediate dentures will need to be adjusted as your teeth and gums heal over time.

If you are only missing a few of your teeth, partial dentures can help to fill gaps and restore your smile. Partial dentures replace missing teeth and are held in place with clips or clasps and are removed at night when you are sleeping.
