Restore your smile and functionality with complete dentures. Custom-designed to fit comfortably, they provide a natural appearance and improve eating and speaking confidence.
Complete dentures are designed to restore the full set of teeth for individuals who have lost all their natural teeth due to injury or extractions. While full dentures remain an affordable option for replacing missing teeth, there are now more advanced and effective alternatives available.
A complete denture in Vancouver, WA, typically features acrylic bases that are color-matched to the natural shade of your gums, providing a realistic appearance. The teeth in the denture can be made from either acrylic or porcelain, with porcelain being more durable and longer-lasting than acrylic.
Complete dentures are removable and should be placed in a glass of water overnight to keep them from drying out. It's important to note that partial dentures should be removed while sleeping.
To determine if a complete denture is the best solution for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Farmer. He will evaluate your dental needs and advise you on the most appropriate treatment option.
The primary advantage of a complete denture with an acrylic base is its affordability. It provides a cost-effective solution for restoring a full set of teeth, typically at a much lower price than implant-supported dentures or even a single dental implant.
Another benefit is that complete dentures are removable. If they become uncomfortable or need adjustment, they can easily be taken out, allowing the wearer to identify and address the issue—something that fixed dental structures do not offer.
Additionally, a complete denture in Vancouver helps restore both the appearance and confidence of individuals. By replacing missing teeth, it enhances facial aesthetics, and the acrylic base is designed to match the color of the gums, making the denture blend in seamlessly and look natural.
In addition to complete dentures, there are several alternative options available. For instance, the All-on-4® Treatment Concept is an implant-supported full denture that stays securely fixed in the mouth. In some cases, dental bridges can also replace complete dentures.
When a person has only one or two teeth left in their mouth, Dr. Farmer may recommend extraction followed by a complete denture near you. If a patient has only a few missing teeth, they may opt for a partial denture or a dental bridge. A dental bridge can even replace a single missing tooth or be paired with a dental implant for a more permanent solution.
For any type of artificial tooth structure, including complete dentures, it’s important to have a healthy bone foundation to ensure proper fit and function.
