Dentures
Extensive tooth loss can affect many aspects of your life, making it hard to do things like eat, speak, and smile.
The team at White Pine Dental in Herriman and Murray, UT, can restore your smile with custom-made dentures.
Thanks to advances in restorative dentistry, you have more options than ever when it comes to your dentures.
Top-of-the-Line Denture Options Find the Best Restoration for Your Smile
If you are suffering from extensive tooth loss but have some remaining natural teeth, you are probably a good candidate for partial dentures. A partial denture is a removable prosthetic that is held in place by a metal framework secured around your natural teeth.
Complete dentures (also known as full dentures) replace all the teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Traditional complete dentures consist of a gum-colored acrylic base and a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This restoration is removable and secures to your gumline with suction and dental adhesive.
Implant-supported dentures are the most stable and natural-feeling option. They are anchored by titanium implant posts surgically placed in the jawbone. Dental implants not only secure your prosthetic in place, but they replace your missing tooth roots, providing numerous oral health benefits.
See How a Partial Denture Fills the Gaps in Your Smile
If you're missing too many teeth for a crown or bridge but not enough teeth for a full denture, there's another option: partial dentures. Our Murray, UT, dentists can craft a partial denture that secures to your remaining natural teeth for additional stability.
Comparing Traditional &
Implant-Supported Dentures
Choosing between dental implants and traditional restorations can be a big decision. The best treatment will depend on your personal needs and goals. Take a look at the main differences between traditional restorations and implant dentistry to learn what you can expect out of treatment at our two Utah practices.
