Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore your smile. There are two types of dentures:

Full Dentures: are given to patients when all the natural teeth have been removed. Conventional full dentures are placed after the gum tissue has healed, which can take several months. Immediate full dentures are placed immediately after the teeth have been removed and may require frequent adjustments during the first couple months of use.

Partial Dentures: are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are considered a removable alternative to bridges.

Losing your natural teeth can seem like a tough obstacle to overcome, but dentures can be an easy alternative to help you regain confidence in your smile. If you’ve lost all of your natural teeth, replacing them with dentures will make it easier to eat and speak better than you could without teeth. These are luxuries that people most often take for granted.

As your local Mesa dentist, we understand how important it is to have a smile that is functional, long lasting and healthy. When you lose all of your teeth, your facial muscles can sag, making you look and feel older. Dentures are a great way to help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. At Sossaman Family Dental, we can make your new set of dentures closely resemble your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much. Dentures may even improve the look of your smile!
