Our dentist may recommend a denture if you have lost multiple teeth. Dentures work to replace the missing teeth, restoring your smile and helping you chew and speak with confidence once again. They can also be anchored into place with dental implants. Call Norwood Dental Center at 781-762-3529 to set up an appointment with Dr. Wonsuk Joo and learn more about complete and partial dentures in Norwood, Massachusetts.
Types of Dentures Available
At our dental office, we offer both complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing in either the upper or lower arch. They are typically made of acrylic and rest directly on your gums. Partial dentures are recommended when some healthy teeth remain and are supported by a lightweight metal or acrylic framework that clasps to your natural teeth.
For patients seeking added stability, we may also recommend implant-supported dentures. These dentures are securely anchored in place with dental implants, which are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone. Implant dentures offer enhanced security, preserve jawbone density, and help prevent shifting during daily activities such as eating or speaking.
Your Custom Denture Process
Creating your custom dentures typically requires multiple visits to ensure the best fit and comfort. During your initial appointment, our dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and take impressions of your mouth. These impressions are sent to a dental lab where your dentures are precisely crafted. Once ready, we will fit the dentures, make any necessary adjustments, and provide guidance on proper care and cleaning.
Your comfort is our priority throughout the entire process. We take great care to ensure your dentures feel secure and natural. With proper care, dentures can last for several years and help you maintain your oral health and confidence.
Maintaining Dentures for Longevity
To extend the life of your dentures, it is important to clean them daily, remove them at night, and store them in a proper soaking solution. We will also evaluate your dentures during regular checkups to ensure continued fit and function. Over time, changes in the mouth may require relining or replacement of the denture to maintain effectiveness and comfort.
